Hey Bob, you think we should suggest a trip to Gullet Quarry up in the
Malverns? ;o)

Yeup - but I last dived there about 8 years ago so whether it is still
accessible is another question. The quarry is about 4-5m deep, VERY
silty with an Ambulance at the back and (maybe) some other cars in it.

I think it's further on from the Gullet, at the bottom of midsummer hill:

We used it as a rescue training place - dubious as to whether it's
actually worth a dive.

Ah yes, I know it. You walk up the lane and it's on the right, fenced off
with a warning notice.
