How would one be able to get permission for access to the beck?
ReplyDeleteYou are free to visit Stainsby beck but I would like to take this opportunity to warn of the dangers, I once had to pull a police officer from one of the many hidden voids in the beck bed, some of these voids are metres deep, also remember rats inhabit the becks, so Leptospirosis is another danger, as are the constant collapses of the beck banks.
ReplyDeleteAnd on that subject I would like to state that I only ever excavate where a collapse has already happened i.e. I do not disturb the undamaged beck banks, or disturb any wild life, and would expect others to act in a responsible way if visiting any of the deep beck valleys of the south west area of Cleveland. PS I would be more than happy to meet and show any interested parties around the beck valley sites.
