The Cathedral Quarry in Little Langdale has been re-opened after inspectors investiaged a reported crack.

Following the reported appearance of a crack Cathedral Quarry was closed for inspection at the beginning of the month.

Dr Paul Nathanial, a Geo Technical Surveyor who has been involved with monitoring Cathedral since the mid nineties, carried out an independent inspection.

In his report he says, "While I think the precaution of closing Cathedral Quarry was the correct one, my inspection has not revealed any evidence to justify its continued closure so I would be happy for you to reopen the Quarry."

The Quarry was re-opened February 11 to the general public, but people are asked to exercise caution in the area.
