The bug hotel and the Biggest chip butty...


Walk 2 Padley Gorge

13th May 2018

This time we decided to walk Padley Gorge! On a wet weekend.
Team members on this walk were - Amy, Martha, Lizzie, Wendy
with support from Charlie- chief bug catcher,
Nick, Evie and of course Bertie the border Terrier!


Evie, Charlie and Martha.

A gentle ramble down with a spot of lunch to get us back up the hill saw Martha and Evie tackle the largest chip butty I have ever seen!!


Charlie was in charge of collecting bugs for his bug hotel and collected a beetle, an ant, a caterpillar!
They were all happily (!) Rehoused in his bug hotel!

Next time we are uping the effort with a tougher walk....
