The Great Stainton Balsam Bash – Round 2 at Baron’s Cross Quarry

Join PACT on Saturday 1st August as we take a second bash at Stainton’s Baron’s Cross Quarry, to rid it of as much invasive Himalayan Balsam as possible! What to wear: Old clothes are best! We highly recommend long-sleeve tops and trousers, as you might be pulling out balsam amongst nettles and thistles. Please wear sturdy shoes or wellies, and bring thick waterproof gardening gloves to protect your hands. What to bring: A packed lunch, drinks, gardening gloves, and sunscreen or waterproofs just in case. Ages: All ages are welcome, although the activity is not very suitable for young children. Accessibility: The site is fully accessible by foot, with uneven ground in places. Where to meet: Please meet at the quarry entrance – what3words ///reduction.decay.ignites . There is no parking at the quarry but a small amount of parking at the top of St John’s Road where it joins Fairybead Lane, a very short walk from the quarry entrance. The reward: Hard work deserves a treat, so we will provide the cake! Booking Information: Free but booking preferred to help us know numbers – book here https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GTDZ

More about Penrith

Cumbria, England

Penrith sits snugly in Cumbria with a quiet charm that never fails to impress. The town holds its own against the bigger cities without needing to shout about it. Local halls and community centres keep things lively enough for anyone looking for a good night out or a family day. It is easy to find something to do without tramping miles across the county. A comedy show here might make you laugh until your sides ache, while a local play could leave you thinking for days. Near Here keeps the calendar full so you never have to wonder what to do next weekend.
