The plan is to look at lichens on the limestone walls and outcrops in the area to the north of Alstonefield. An area for which there are currently no records in the database.
Meet at 10.30am at the Peak District National Park car park on Lode Lane, Alstonefield. There are toilets here and at the time of writing it’s free parking. Grid Ref SK13045564. Alstonefield lies on the Staffordshire side of the River Dove and is about 3km west of the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road.
As always beginners are most welcome. Bring along a hand-lens and id. guides if you have them. The plan is for a full-day meeting so do bring along a drink and lunch.
