Environmental Adventure Day 2
Claire Coombe
Today was a corker weather wise and we made the most of it with a morning on the climbing wall progressing from the easy routes across to the more challenging ones. Each and every adventurer got to the top and we even had some complete the purple route which is really tricky!
After lunch Gary arrived and the group got togged up ready for an afternoon of kayaking. They headed down to the launch site and paddled their way along the river, stopping off for a dip to cool off!
After dinner some very special guests arrived - Nancy Noctule, Maisy the brown long eared bat and Quasi and Peso the pipistrelles! After seeing the bats up close it was time to head out on a dusk bat walk to see them in their natural habitat flying and feeding along the hedgerows surrounding camp.
Tomorrow we have a day of traditional skills planned including forging, stone carving and green woodworking.
