DGAG Residential weekend 2019<\/p>\n
This year we are visiting the Glamorgan Heritage Coast (south-east Wales). Dates: Fri.3rd May to Sunday 5th May. Some may want to stay over Sunday night and do more on Monday. Leaders: John Scott and Kelvin Huff<\/p>\n
Come and view the results of Dinantian storms (Lower Carboniferous), the effects of the Variscan and later orogenies, Triassic desert wadis and lakes where early dinosaurs roamed. See the Triassic\/Jurassic boundary and unconformities, a rare Jurassic rocky shoreline and island edge plus spectacular faulting. This is all topped off by Pleistocene and Recent deposits.<\/p>\n
Suggested accommodation is at the Premier Inn, Bridgend CF35 5HY. (M4 Jct.35) This is near Pencoed, make sure you don\u2019t book at Bridgend Central. Book early as it’s a Bank Holiday Weekend. A Table Table restaurant\/pub and a McDonald\u2019s (if desperation creeps in) are nearby.<\/p>\n
Cindy Howells of the National Museum of Wales<\/a> in Cardiff has offered to show us\u00a0 ‘behind the scenes’ on Friday 3rd. May. We’ll make a stop here on our way to Pencoed. Timings to follow along with further trip details.<\/p>\n There will be a small charge to cover leaders\u2019 expenses and handouts.<\/p>\n Please let Kelvin know if you want to come along and he\u2019ll add you to the list.<\/p>\n Image: Cliffs on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast south of Dunraven Park. \u00a9 Owengwynne [CC BY-SA 3.0 (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0)], from Wikimedia Commons https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:GlamorganHeritageCoast.JPG<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
