ammonite fossilTook a trip out to Brinham Rocks with the folks, feels a bit odd coming back here as the last time I did I was about 9 years old. I remember bits of the first visit; the weather was awful, I wore a cagoule, it was the 80's and curly hair was in abundance.shark tooth fossil After a good bit of climbing about moved on to pay a visit to Stump Cross Caverns. Like Brinham Rocks, I've also been here before but last time with my old secondary school towards the end of the 1980's. What I was forgetting is that I've grown somewhat since I last went, good job they provide hard hats is all I can say to that. Pretty chilly down there 7°C and all around is the incessant 'drip-drip' sound, apart from the occassional 'drip-bong' made as water drops onto one of several drip gauges put there by researchers at my last university - Newcastle Upon Tyne. Lovely chocolate fudge cake in the caf? and acquired a splendid ammonite harvested from the family's holiday haunt of Whitby and a fossilied shark's tooth.
