STONEA PITS

This is an occupation crossing between Horsemoor and Stonea and the fishing pits are the nearest identifiable object! It is reaqched by leaving the A1101 at the first left-handed, 90 degree bend (straight on, basically) after Horsemoor AHB and then down an extremely long farm track, part metalled, but I've never done it in my car - a very large off-road motorbike is recommended!
