October 2007 A couple of team members went to have a look at the gulley (14 October) with the following report. We went to have a look at the Foxes Tarn Gully yesterday. We scrambled up the grass alongside the gully to the location of the rockfall and then took various photos which we will e-mail for the website. The rockfall is from a section of the sidewall that has obviously been loose for a long time. It has fallen into a fairly concentrated area with 3 large boulders and lots of smaller TV sized boulders. The largest boulder is approximately 10x5x5ft across its largest dimensions. However, this boulder does look the least stable of the lot and another large boulder of about half that size is resting against it. I was happy to enter the gully for a short period and have a look and get some photos. |
