Cobbler Mountain otherwise known as Ben Arthur reaches a height of 884m and provides a wonderful hike. We parked in Succoth car park and crossed the road to the wooden owl where the path begins.

The luke-warm water pounded against my shins, thighs and eventually my chest as I got further away from the shoreline. To my right dramatic mountains jutted out into the bright blue sky.
