Tucks Rift

A warm day in Wales and a visit to Tucks rift. Vis was not great at around 0.2M to 1.5M. The lines was in a very poor condition and needs replacing (this we will do soon). Unfortunately the new line will be replaced via Glan Hepste (another entrance to the system) as the land owner for Tucks has withdrawn access permission due to liability concerns.
