I visited this site yesterday, 25/07/06, but after a couple of hours fruitless search, I began to doubt the authenticity of the site, or at least the map reference...a/ because of a complete lack of exposed rock in the area...and b/ the apparent mix up of the names, as there appears to be nowhere called Holgate Howe in the vicinity, at least not on any of the maps that I have looked at.... I would advise anybody thinking of visiting the site, not to bother...(:
