10 September

Saturday 10 September (Field meeting): Titterstone Clee Hill, Shropshire: 'From Carboniferous Limestone to the Coal Measures'. Joint meeting with Shropshire Geological Society. Meet at 10.30 in the view-point car park by the cattle grid on A4117, on the east edge of Clee Hill village (GR: SO 594753). Part car tour, part walking, looking at limestone quarries down the hill at Knowle Gate, Cornbrook Sandstone (= Millstone Grit) in the Cornbrook Valley and Coal Measures plus the dolerite intrusion (Dhustone) towards the summit. Fantastic views over the Welsh border country (weather permitting!). Sites might include working quarries (to be negotiated). Bring hard hats and high-viz vests if possible (a few are available for loan), and suitable footwear. Some collecting will be allowed from waste tips, so hammer and hand lens advisable. Considerable industrial archaeology interest as well as purely geological. Bring picnic lunch, or pub lunch possible in Clee Hill village.
