Sorby Natural History Society (Sheffield)
Lichen Meeting to the Upper Dove Valley
Tuesday 6 May 2025
Leader: Steve Price, email: lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk
The north and south-facing limestone outcrops of Parkhouse and adjacent hills will be the focus of our attention. There are very few records here and on the recce visit a good range of quality lichens were found.
Meet at 10.30am by the green in the middle of Earl Sterndale where there is roadside parking. Grid Ref SK09036703. Earl Sterndale is about 5 miles south-east of Buxton.
Please note that from the meeting place there is a steady descent of over 60m before ascending the same up to the outcrops of Parkhouse Hill.
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.
