Strathyre Nature

Panther Cap fungi is coming up everywhere, and Mr Bumble has been bzzzy - look at his pollen panniers.....

Flowers Powers

You can eat this one on the left - delicious, but not this one on the right - unless you happen to be having a heart attack!

Ben A'an again

Our friends Rachel and Adam, who we met on The Pennine Way during our LEJOG walk, came up for a bit of walking. Ben A'an had great views again...

Go Ape again

Oh no, I had to do Go Ape again, always scary but fun, especially with good company to spur you on! Our friends from Portsmouth, Kerrie and Mick and their son Clayton did the high wire course with us. Great to see them after so long, so it was really sad when they had to go back home :-(

Ooh, if anyone does the tarzan swing at the end of course 5, don't do it no handed like Mick did who nearly did a 360, ouch!

Flower Power

Amazing flaura all of a sudden, so loads to talk about on our ranger walks. Lots of marsh orchids around stank glen behind the cabin site and fox and cubs everywhere.

Marvelous Moths and Dragon Flies

Lots of moths and things out and about now around the campsite. Unfortunately that means midges too :-0

Left, Poplar Hawk Moth and a dragonfly nymph found on an alder tree near the river.

Bluebell Forests and Broom

All around us are bluebells, it's amazing! Here are just a couple of the views.

Also, broom petals are out and ready to eat! Tastes just like fresh peas so a great wild food. Be careful not to eat anything else on broom though, it's poisonous; it does make a good broom for sweeping but witches use the poison to fly, don't try this at home kids!
