I've passed this location many times over the years, quite forgetting that I never actually found this Berntsen back in 2005. A check on this site reminded me so I put this right today. Very easy to find at the south end of the lay-by, still nicely exposed. Looking back at my 2005 photo, I was in the right location and should have tried harder!

(67) Pulled in at the lay-by, and had a spot of early dinner. Easy to find thanks to previous logs. Looks to have been recently visited as it was only covered by the long grass, and not any real soil.

Uncovered, and easily found with CJO directions, although seems more like 2.5 m from hawthorn. S end of large layby, all very easy.

The link to the OS site was down so without Ian's pic I would have been lost - thanks. It was not buried but the undergrowth was very high so it took a while but found it eventually.

I didn't have serious search in the grass but my GPS indicated the south end of the lay-by. There was a procession of muddy off-road vehicles on the road, departing after a boys' day out in the nearby quarry.

TP0602 My GPS indicated this area of grass.
