A number of localities in the Coniston Area where examined. UKF parked at Boo Tarn car park and following the GA guide. This trip was very interesting in its geology but is poor for fossil collecting. Two of the major localities along this route in which most of the fossiliferios rocks can be found was unfortunately not accessible due to high water levels in the beck's. We did take a look at the disused quarries of 'The Old Man of Coniston' which is not mentioned in the GA guide, however these rocks were not fossilferious but the view was worth the steep and very high hill climb.
