• Meet at the Blea Tarn National Trust Car Park (NT on map) (NY 2956
0432) to consolidate car use, discuss the weather and decide whether to go up the Crinkles or do this alternative to the Crinkle Crags Excursion in the event of low cloud.
• We will head up to the Three Shire Stone (M on map) for 10h00 and set off towards Teighton How (NY 27736 03273)
• None of the walking is on well defined paths and much is over open fellside, boggy in places. The descent from Blake Rigg to Blea Tarn is steep and only partly on a weakly defined path.
• The excursion is approximately 5km in length with ~300m of ascent and ~450m of descent.
• The excursion finishes at Bleaberry Knott, but if time allows other aspects of the area may be included on the way back to the NT car park at Blea Tarn

A table has been booked at the Cassa Bella restaurant in Keswick for 6 people including the speaker before the lecture.  We are now unable to book a large table together so if anyone wants to organise booking their own table there is an easy online booking system at   www.casabellakeswick.co.uk The booking form has a ‘Notes’ box so it might be worth filling it in to ask for a table near the table that’s already booked for the Speaker. (Quote the Booking Reference R7NR4N for 25/09/24 and RPNR4B for 09/10/24 in the name of David Steele from 17.45pm) Depending on the positions of the tables we are given on the night it may hopefully work out that we can all chat together.

Trowbarrow Quarry is located on the Silverdale Disturbance, a narrow belt of steeply dipping Carboniferous rocks in a region of otherwise very gentle dips. In this disused limestone quarry, we will look at some structural features, together with fossils (body and trace) and evidence of relative sea level change.
