Not a place that I'd have bothered to visit if it hadn't been for Mickandkim's latest success. Easy find once the location had been reached but getting there was the problem. Approached from NE, across the golf course and into woodland but then managed to miss the track and struggled through heather and over the hummocky remnants of the quarry. Block exposed; similar in size to TP8467 Huthwaite Wood. Decent views; not many golfers about despite the relatively mild spring weather.

Located at the top of a heather-covered scrubby hill at the back of a golf course. More of our block nemesis - heather and very rocky spoil from quarrying just dumped in piles on the summit ridge. No hope here, although one rocky hump was at correct GR
