Itinerary description

I realise that there are many other walks to the unique sink hole "lakes". I intended to make a circular walk of the length we prefer and it worked out quite well. These "lakes" are well worth visiting and are very deep, the main larger one contains many fish which must have been put there origionaly by humans - definitely the goldfish! It is a shame one of the lakes is spoilt by fertiliser run off.
