Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Hodgson How Quarry

25th June 2004

Since our UKF Vehicle is still not ready, we have had to relocate to Keswick town centre, being previously located some 6 miles outside the town. After trying over 40 accommodation places in the town, we eventually found a hotel with enough free spaces for our team. Therefore we have been more flexible with public transport next to major bus routes and with a sunny dry day, have added this extra event. Today we examined the Skiddaw Group in Hodgson How Disused Quarry situated at Portinscale. We found two species of Graptolites. Photos of Graptolites to follow shortly.
