I'm so glad I can get to writing, after what we've had to do to reach this place. We're in a legendary cave just off the A77 in South Ayrshire. It's hidden at the bottom of a steep hill, and a really muddy 'trail', which is more of a boggy stream flanked by thick vegetation and thorns. 

Its surrounded by steep cliffs with sheer drops on either side. It's been quite a mission to get down here. By the time my chair, desk and I made it I had mud all over my shoes and backside up and even a little on my shirt after falling a few times! 

If I wasn't so cold and wet I would be laughing about it too...

Once we were down here we waited on a stretch of beach for the tide to go out. You can only get near at relatively low tide, and have to climb rocks and through a seaweed bog to get to the mouth of the cave. There is loads of bird poop too, so the fact we haven't been attacked by rabid birds yet seems to be a good omen. 

It's exhausting even writing it out, but at least we are here now. So the question remains, why did we make all this happen, what's so special about the cave?

It's the cave once inhabited by Sawney Bean and his 48 strong clan (all direct family members eek), who were prolific cannibals in the 15th or 16th century. 

The alarm has gone off, I'll tell more of the story after a short break.

It's eerily quiet sitting in here, it feels like you're no longer in civilisation, although legend states we are indeed not alone... Sawney Bean and his clan would find most of their 1000+ victims traveling along the local road. They managed to stay hidden for over 25 years, partially because the cave is very remote, and of course protected by the tide. Anyway it turns out they were captured and hung for their crimes, although I believe the details with that too are subject to debate. Honestly I'm impressed I remembered this much of the story given the surroundings I'm in.

oucfhovchjeoivjoeijv we just got rumbled by a zombie rat. Well maybe it was a mouse, but it's definitely a zombie one... we won't stick around to find out.

Phew, we've promptly moved to the entrance of the cave away from the wildlife, at least I ate a lot of garlic yesterday.

 Aaand we're back to food - how typical. You're saved from the food chat for this week actually, the second alarm has just gone off.

My word what an experience...

Thanks for reading, happy halloween!
