On both days groups will walk independently of an instructor but under distance supervision, times for pick up are assumed, we are assuming groups will stick to the times they have planned, navigate without mistakes and cover ground at the assumed rate. Kit to carry and wear • Boots that must cover the ankle bone with good walking socks. • Walking ( preferably non cotton ) clothing to wear and a full change in a waterproof bag to carry inside the rucksack. No shorts ( ticks are bad in the Mendips ), no strappy tops, proper sports leggings are acceptable but walking trousers are preferable. • Sleeping bag ( In a compression sack and waterproof bag ) and roll mat • Waterproof Jacket and Trousers ( No matter what the forecast ) • A Sunhat and sun cream ( no exceptions here unless on specified medical grounds ) • Full size expedition rucksack ( group kit will have to be carried ) • A substantial packed lunch, 2 Ltrs of water ( minimum ) and the ingredients to make a hot drink on the stove.

  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

  • Trinia Glauca
    Crouch, H.J. (date accessed). Somerset Rare Plant Register account: Trinia glauca. Somerset Rare Plants Group, www.somersetrareplantsgroup.org.uk [Last amended 08-03-2021] Trinia glauca (L.) Dumort. Honewort Native GB & England: Least Concern GB Rare VC5 Absent; VC6 Scarce A dioecious monocarpic perennial herb of dry, limestone, usually south-facing sites with sparse vegetation or short turf. First recorded in Somerset by Dillenius in about 1726, at Uphill (White, 1912): still present at several locations there, in the enclosed quarry and on rock outcrops and steep slopes nearby, also on adjacent Walborough. Noted by Watson (1835) at Uphill and at Whorle-hill. Seen regularly at Worle Hill and recorded at two locations in 1987, mapped by Green et al. (2000), but now feared lost from that site. North of Weston-super- Mare, Trinia glauca was found by T.F. Perkins on Sand Point in 1876 (White, 1912) and is still frequent on the south-facing rocky slopes. In 1849 it was collected on rocky slopes under Leigh Woods, in the Avon Gorge (White, 1912); although it occurs on St Vincent’s Rock on the Bristol side of the Avon, where indeed it was first recorded for Britain in 1562, there have been no further records on the Somerset side. On the north side of the Mendips this species was recorded on rocks at Hutton Combe in 1874, re-found at Elborough Hill by R.B.G. Roe, but last seen there in 1988 by Robert Cropper. Recorded by W.B. Waterfall at Sidcot and Winscombe (White, 1912) but not seen there subsequently (although “Winscombe” may have referred to sites on the ridge to the south).

  • GEOMORPHOLOGY and HYDROLOGY of the CENTRAL MENDIPS Steady Gradient of About I in 90 to Crook Peak (628 Ft.) and with Only Slightly Less Regularity to 400 Ft
    Geomorphology and Hydrology or the Central Mendips. Proc. Univ. Brist. Spe1. Soc., 1969, 12 (I), 63-74. Jubilee Contribution University ofBristol Spel.eological Society Geomorphologyand Hydrology of the Central Mendips By D. T. DONOVAN, D.Se. Only in the last few years has the Society carried out and published work on cave geomorphology and hydrology. This article attempts to relate this work to the geomorphological problems of the Mendip Hills. These will be reviewed first. The first question which must be settled is the degree to which the relief of the Palreozoic rocks is an exhumed relief dating from Triassic times, revealed by the removal ofMesozoic rocks. Some authors, perhaps in­ spired by Lloyd Morgan (Morgan 1888 p. 250; Morgan & Reynolds 1909, p. 24), have thought Triassic erosion an important factor in determining details ofpresent relief. While the broad reliefofnorth Somerset certainly reflects that of the late Trias, when the Coal Measures vales between the Carboniferous Limestone uplands had already been eroded to their present level or lower, I question whether the relationship holds in any detail. Some of the marginal slopes of Mendip may be little more than old Carboniferous Limestone slopes exhumed by removal of Trias, but along the southern limit of the Mendips the characteristic steep, regular marginal slope is, in fact, largely cut in the Triassic Dolomitic Conglo­ merate which has an exceedingly irregular contact with the Carboniferous Limestone. Similarly, the summit plateau cuts indiscriminately across Carboniferous and Triassic. All the anticlinal cores were exposed by erosion in Triassic times, but except west of Rowberrow, where the Old Red Sandstone core ofthe Blackdown anticline was already eroded down to a low level in the Trias, I conclude, with Ford and Stanton (1969) that the Triassic landscape is unimportant in controlling present relief.
