This is a lovely collaboration between the National Trust’s Purbeck Goes Wild and DGAG.

Jonathan Stiby and Andy Melrose from DGAG will lead these.
The walk is about 2 miles to and from Spyway Quarry and will include a visit to the Square and Compass! Two more dates are offered in August (dates and contact details to be confirmed shortly) – led by Andy Melrose (DGAG). Feel free to register your interest for the June
dates. We will update you with August dates shortly.
Keep an eye on both the DGAG website and facebook pages for all updates on these.
We will need willing volunteers to write each of the trips up and thank you in advance for this and of course to the trip leaders above.
