Scalebar Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Only a couple of one hour forays so far, I've only just had treatment on my hip so taking it carefully (by which I mean I'm clambering over scree slopes with little care but getting told off for it) Thought I'd drawn a blank on the trilobite front until I started cleaning this - and then I saw my very first trilobite!
