We have a day and a half in the field planned with the help of the Warwickshire Geo-Conservation Group. The outline schedule is as follows:
Saturday morning
Drive to the village of Blockley in the Cotswolds
Lunch (TBC) – The Great Western Arms
Saturday afternoon
Northcot Brick Works to visit the Blockley Brickpit
We will be met by Dale Moss – Works manager. Lower Jurassic (Charmouth Formation) led by Dr. Jon Radley (Warwick Museum).
This is a very fossiliferous site and the WGCG made a video of a previous visit – view that here.
It will be muddy!
Saturday evening
Find your own overnight B&B accommodation in the Stratford on Avon, Evesham and Warwick area.
Possible dinner meet up
Sunday all day
Meet with Dr. Stuart Burley (University of Keele) at Inkberrow, followed by Henley in-Arden & the Grand Union canal to study the Triassic (Carnian) Arden Sandstone. A recent Geology Today article for this is available from Haydon if you’d like one.
