Job's Lane Pit's aka Whisby Quarry. Starting from Whisby NP entrance go down the road towards Eagle village, go over the cross road junction half a mile or so down the road. Carrry on a further half mile or so and go over the railway crossing. Jobs Lane is a couple of hundred yards further on and is at a minor cross roads. You need to take the right hand turn but park at the cross roads by turning left as this is a working road. The lake in question is hidden from the main road about 200 yards down Jobs Lane on the left. Take the entrance on the left (little metal gate) and do not be tempted to go beyond the do not enter signs. There is a path round about a third of the lake only. There is a circular path that leaves the lake and goes back to Eagle Road nearer to the village and about half a mile back from where you entered the complex
