Sorby Natural History Society (Sheffield)
Lichen Meeting to Winnats Pass, Castleton, Hope Valley, Derbyshire
contact: Steve Price, email: lichenrecords@sorby.org.uk
On this meeting we will spend time looking at the lichens of the outcrops and boulders in the upper parts of this spectacular gorge in the reef limestones.
Meet at 10.30am at grid ref. SK127829 in the lay-by parking areas on the road between the top of Winnats Pass and the road to Blue John Mine. On the OS maps this is the road shown as being to the east of ‘Windy Knoll’. Note: please do park only in the marked areas and DO NOT PARK on the verge behind the double yellow lines – parking fine tickets seem to be regularly issued for this.
BLS Members, of any level of experience, are most welcome. Bring a hand lens, note book and field guides. The plan is for a full-day meeting so do bring along a drink and lunch.
