We go back to the days of smuggling. The smugglers would beach their boat and rush their contraband to the cave. There would be a rope dangling through the hole and this would be used by the smugglers associates to heave the goods to the top. They could then transfer the smuggled goods to a safe house - and the boat would sail away before the customs men could take any action.
A bit fanciful perhaps!
The rocks and stones below are just because I quite like rocks and stones.

Nice story! I can believe it! Your coastline is full of smugglers tales! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather.Yes, lots of tales but never sure which ones are genuine when it comes to smuggling.
DeleteWow, highly interesting to learn how smugglers went about using caves.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your comment. There are lots of tales about smugglers in Cornwall.
DeleteNice story, probably true. I love rocks too. When my father was alive, if he found a unusual rock, he would always bring it too me. Nice memories.
ReplyDeleteI have rocks, pebbles and the like on a garden walk that I have collected over the years. Something interesting about rocks - perhaps the age. Many thanks.
