Meet outside the Nature Discovery Centre, which is a short walk from the car park and main entrances.

Weather permitting, we will have a campfire at the end of the session.  We plan on toasting apples served with sugar. You are welcome to bring something to toast. Ideas include: crumpets, little malt loaves, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g., pineapple/mango. Anything you can warm through on a stick, really – we provide toasting forks.  No uncooked meat or nuts, please. Marshmallows and popcorn are not recommended for children under the age of 5.
