Bristol Nats - Field Meeting
When
Thu, 29 August, 11:00 – 16:00
Where
Lilstock, West Somerset Coast,Meet at 11.00am in the Car Parking Area located at Grid Ref: ST171451 (map)
Description
Lilstock, West Somerset Coast, Leader: Richard Ashley 


Meet at 11.00am in the Car Parking Area located at Grid Ref: ST171451. This can be reached by turning off onto a track at Lilstock village. The beach is about 200 yards further down the track, and looks out towards the island of Steep Holm in the channel. Fossil hunting is a popular activity, with finds including ammonites and reptile vertebrae (Ichthyosaur and Plesiosaur). These can be found on the beach and also in the Blue Lias cliffs to the east, but walking across the pebbly shore is hard going. As this is an SSSI, extracting fossils from the living rock is not permitted. The principal object of the visit is to examine the rocks of the Lower Lias and if beach conditions are favourable the Rhaetic Lilstock formation to the west. If time permits it may also be possible to visit the coast at Kilve.

Bring a packed lunch and strong boots. It would be helpful if you would let Richard Ashley know if you wish to attend.
