Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th June: Orton and Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria
Mon 24 June 2024
Sheila Wynn, Alan Gendle and Carol Armstrong
British Pteridological Society and Wild Flower Society Joint meeting
Meet at 10.30 in the car park on Windermere Road in Grange-over-Sands, SD411783. Please bring a packed lunch and drinks for the day. Boots or stout shoes recommended, plus usual outdoor gear.
We will walk through Eggerslack Woods, where there is a good range of woodland ferns. Beech Fern Phegopteris connectilis and Lemon-scented Fern Oreopteris limbosperma have also been recorded here. Higher up we will be on limestone pavement, with a nice range of limestone ferns. Our way back is down through the wood again – a chance to revise the woodland ferns. Some parts of the path are steep, so walking poles will help, but not essential.
