Have returned – my hopes realised, in part. The quarry is indeed rubbish strewn – but it must have a history, and that’s what I’ll search for over the next few days. Meanwhile some pics:
I fought through chin high nettles for these – my ‘machete’ was no more than a bamboo cane from the garden, which was soon reduced to a 6 inch stick, but I did wear thick trousers,boots and gloves!
Need to return with a tripod – that might be tricky!
