6 day environmental adventure day 4
Claire Coombe
Today was another jam packed day with kayaking or climbing, wild food foraging and climbing on the menu. Everybody in the climbing group, without exception, got to the top of the climbing wall and did amazingly while those who went kayaking made great progress along the river and showed some excellent teamwork in their double kayaks.
Marcus, a local wild food expert came along in the afternoon to share with the group all of the unexpected foods which you can find in the hedgerows before cooking up a delicious nettle tortilla in the camp kitchen.
We were visited in the evening by Nancy the Noctule bat, Timmy the long eared bat and a couple of little pipistrelles - the children got to see them up close and quiz Chris their carer on all things bats before heading off with some bat detectors on a dusk bat walk.
