7/52 Troglodog
A rather wet day, so where better else to have a pause than than in a cave. Millican Dalton's Cave in Borrowdale
- Millican Dalton (20 April 1867 – 5 February 1947) was a self-styled "Professor of Adventure".
Born on 20 April 1867 at Nenthead, Alston, Cumberland, he spent his early life in the northwest of England before his family moved to Essex. He became an insurance clerk in London, living in Loughton where he had a cottage, but at the age of 36, he gave up this existence and went to live under canvas, in a rough wooden shack, and in a cave (which he dubbed "The Cave Hotel"), from where he offered camping and adventure holidays. He spent his summers in the cave in Borrowdale, moving south to the wooden shed in Buckinghamshire during the colder months.
