Batts Combe Quarry Visit

18th May 2023

Shed members recently visited Hanson Batts Combe Quarry which is dug deep into the Mendip Hills on the edge of Cheddar village.

After a safety briefing we were taken high up on to the edge of the quarry to see its operation. We then went right down to the quarry face where drilling was taking place for the next schedule blast. Finally we had coffee & biscuits while watching a presentation that included several videos of the blasts at the quarry.
