Plans
A footpath runs past this quarry. From memory, there were few if any fences or gates and the the hashpoint looks as though it's on dry land. Of course it might have been dredged out and turned into a lake since Google took their image.
Expedition
Elaborate metal gates blocked the main access track. After driving a circular route looking for a better approach, there was an alternative footpath bypassing the closed and locked gates. This led to the planned track and right of way. Later in the walk, without gates or fences or even signs, I passed a large JCB digger. A muddy but passable track led towards the hashpoint. Right at the end, there were large, uneven heaps of dumped concrete and various piles of discarded tube and wire to negotiate. The final approach was on level ground with hundreds of bags, stacked on pallets. They contained an unknown material related to quarrying. My phone lost GPS lock and said I was about 12 metres away. My Garmin receiver said I was within 1 metre.
