Date	Sunday 23 April 2023
Location	Lyme Park
Leader	Jane Michael
Notes	The Fred Broadhurst Memorial Field Trip: Lyme Park Part 2 - Fossils and Features. This year, we will be investigating further glacial features, this time in the southern part of the Park, plus looking at fossils and rock formations. Yes, there are rock exposures and fossils but you do have to seek them out! The walk will be based round Walk 11 in Rocky Rambles in the Peak District. We may also see deer. I am intending to undertake this trip as an all day, from 10am until probably 3.30pm, so we will be 'eating out' in the field (let's hope it doesn't rain!). For further information and a copy of the Itinerary and Risk Assessment, please email me. Please note that non-National Trust members will have to pay for admission to the park, which includes car parking but not entry to the house. No bookings will be taken after Friday April 14 2023 as names (members and non-members) must be supplied to the National Trust on Saturday 15 April.
