About this Event
Go for a wander with author Merryn Glover to gather words and ideas for writing about nature. We will explore Glen Nevis and draw from our senses to craft poetry and short descriptive pieces. No experience necessary.
All materials will be provided, but please wrap up warm with appropriate clothing and footware for whatever conditions the day may bring. A spare jacket or mat to sit on will also be useful. In the event of terrible weather (February can bring all sorts!), we will be indoors for some or all of the workshop.
This is a Creatives workshop, hosted by the Scottish Mountaineering Press.
