Approaches:
The quarry is situated about 2km up the A623 from Stoney Middleton. Follow the
road and 300m after a sharp right-hand bend will be seen a quarry track leading
off to the right with a lay-by on the left-hand side of the road 100m further
on. Park here or on the opposite side of the road. Go back down the road and follow
the track into the quarry. Layout:
On entering the quarry the first walls seen at the back of the quarry are clearly
recognized by a cave at 10m and a compact wall extending leftwards. 20m left of
the cave is the first area (Androids Area) identified by a long corner line. The
best area, the Main Wall, lies 70m to the left and is obvious by name. The walls
extend beyond this for some distance and then form a series of slabs on the
back wall. On the left-hand side of this and facing towards the main wall
are a yellowish wall (Heart to heart Wall) and a bay (Guoranga Bay). Above the
Main Wall lies the recently developed Upper Tier. |
