SAFETY & DANGERS
This is a very busy working quarry and large vehicles frequently move around the quarry, extra care must be taken at all times. There is also a number of areas of sinking sand, these are signposted clearly. The bottom of the pit can also be very dangerous and is normally filled with deep water. |
