In reply to Neston Climber:
The best place to park is along Mill Hill Road in the large layby by the Irby cricket club. Cross the road to the footpath sign and walk diagonally through the woods to Sandy Lane, then past two sandstone cottages to the quarry. On the question of the gorse, this is a problem for many crags in the area. Ecologists prefer heather on heathland as this encourages reptiles. Huge areas of Runcorn Heath, for instance, have been recently cleared of gorse and birch trees by the Council to encourage heather. In any case, this issue is in the capable hands of the local BMC rep who is in discussions with Wirral Council and the rangers.
