Norman Kebell@palaeokatie just a thought, should we be leaving rocks in situ rather than taking them away?
@Tormid yeah you should never remove anything from bedrock, and for loose material you need permission from the land owner and/or naturescot to collect. And if you are collecting loose material it should be collected responsibly (i.e. only removing 1-2 small pieces, not disturbing wildlife etc). This is part of a teaching collection (I do lots of public outreach and engagement ๐).
