Balwest Society evening meeting on the 25 May was for a walk on Tregonning hill lead by Godfrey Piper. The meet was well attended by 20+ members and friends but visibility limited our view from the hill.
Tregonning Hill is the westerly of two granite hills overlooking Mount' Bay. Part of the hill is designated as a Site of Special Scientific which is a detached outcrop of the Cornubian batholite. The granite has been altered by kaolinization and china clay has been quarried, disused pits, gullies, waste-tips and debris litter the hillside.
