Brilliant Bats and Bloomin’ Bluebells
Wild Scottish bluebells are looking beautiful just now! This guided walk takes us through one of the most amazing bluebell woods of Perthshire, near Murthly, where we discover the folklore and stories surrounding the ‘Fairy Flower’ as well as why bat supersenses are so special, with batty games. These native oakwoods are renowned for their wildlife and we should enjoy sightings of lots of wildlife, including picking up navigating bats on our bat detector! The walk is about 2 miles long, on fairly flat but rough ground. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring waterproofs, as well as binoculars if you have them.
Meet at the new car park on the Murthly-Kinclaven road at 8.30pm (walk will last 1.5 – 2 hours). A map of the meeting location will be e-mailed on booking.
PRICE: £10pp or £30 for a family (2 adults + 2 children)
GROUP SIZE: Min 5 people – max 15 people
TIME: 8:30pm (1.5 – 2 hours)
AVAILABLE: Unfortunately we have had to cancel this walk but may be running a Bat Supersenses event later in the summer, subject to government advice.
Food for Free – Foraging Walk along the Tay near Murthly
This walk is perfect for people who have ever inquisitively nibbled dandelion leaves, or munched a handful of wild berries picked when out for a walk – or thought about making some soup out of a wild patch of nettles. We will discover how much nature has to offer us on our doorstep – both for food and medicine. This is a flat walk alongside the River Tay and in its woodlands and we should see plenty of wildlife as well as edible plants. Wear sturdy shoes and warm clothes/waterproofs – we will have to cross a burn!
