Sand Dune research site in Formby

Edge Hill University are conducting research on the sand dunes near Devils Crater. There are signs all round the edge of the crater and tape closing off the paths.

It is only the crater that is closed and you can go around the outside of it. They have set up scientific equipment all around the edge of the huge sand hill and also inside it. There is a tent inside and a 4x4 and trailer on the southern side.

This is for on-going research experiment of the sand dunes involving the use of electric cables and fragile equipment. Please use alternative paths.

This will not effect the search for the lost dog Perdy, the search is still on.
