21-03 Geology and Fossils of Far Arnside

Saturday 17th July, 2021 at 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Free

A walk along the coast at Far Arnside, led by geologist, Tim Tranter. After graduation Tim Tranter started his career with the British Antarctic Survey, earning a PhD based on fieldwork conducted in Antarctica.  He subsequently worked for Shell and Maersk Oil in various overseas locations for 24 years. He now works from home in Arnside.

This trip will be more of an observational ramble than a walk, as such, along the beach and foreshore at Far Arnside, with frequent stops at points of interest and plenty of opportunity to look in detail at the fascinating features of this area. The walk offers the chance to see all three limestone formations of the AONB in one location and to study the details of a fault zone as well as look at well-preserved coral fossils (depending on beach conditions).

The walk will commence at 2pm and will last about two and a half hours.

Unsuitable for dogs.

BOOKING ESSENTIAL. This walk is now FULL.  To request places on the waiting list, please submit a Waiting List Application.
