Box Rock Circus Fossil Rubbings
We are in the process of replacing the fossil rubbings with metal castings which won't weather as badly as the current ones. Unfortunately, this will take us several days and in order to see
what we are up against, we have made a mess of one of the casts this morning. It has not been vandalised; it was deliberate damage!

Sad news to report about Box Rock Circus; the little slate house has suffered some damage. We will repair it as soon as possible. PLEASE let me know if anything further happens.
We know about the weathering damage to the fossil rubbing casts. They will be replaced by next year, hopefully.
Have you tried the Earthcache that is set there?
