Quarries

1) Moons Hill Quarry (ST 644 459) Thu, 19/04/07, 13:00. Sunny, clear sky, good visibility.
A blast at the quarry, not too impressive, didn't really know where to look. But all it was, really, was a low rumbling and a lot of dust.

2) Doulting Quarry (ST 649 436) Fri, 20/04/07, 12:30. Cloudy sky, good visibility.
A massive chainsaw-car-thing cuts the oolitic limstone into blocks. Did you know you can stack 848-1272 blocks of doulting stone of 1m thickness on top of each other before the lowest one fails?

I meant how do they keep the quarries from filling with water before they abandon them?

I surely must rain while they are still doing the excavation.

[torigolddust]

they don't. Look up quarry jump where everyone does cliff diving into the quarry lakes!!

How do they keep these from filling up with water?
