Join us for an extraordinary adventure as we explore the fascinating world of biofluorescence! Biofluorescence is a unique phenomenon where certain organisms emit light in different colors than the ones they absorb, and we will embark on a guided walk to discover this captivating natural phenomenon up close.
With UV torches provided, we will venture into the darkness to witness a stunning display of biofluorescent organisms in their natural habitat. From fungi to insects and plants, we will encounter a diverse array of species that come alive with vibrant hues of green, blue, red, purple, orange, and more, revealing Nature’s hidden spectacles.
This guided walk is suitable for anyone aged 8 years and above, all children must be accompanied by an adult. Please come prepared with warm clothing as the pace of the walk is slow. We recommend sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven (walking boots ideal, but trainers adequate) and wearing trousers to avoid stinging nettles. Safety glasses will be provided and must be worn throughout the walk for your protection.
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the enchanting world of biofluorescence and uncover the wonders that await in the darkness. Join us for an unforgettable experience that will open your eyes to the breathtaking beauty of nature’s hidden secrets. Book your spot now and get ready for an awe-inspiring adventure!
What to bring?
Biofluorescent walks move at a slow pace so please make sure to wrap up nice and warm. More clothes are needed than for a normal walk outdoors. We recommend layering up so you can always remove or add a layer as required. We will provide you with a special UV torch and safety glasses to be worn at all times during the walk.
Plenty of warm layers of clothing
Good sturdy footwear such as walking shoes, boots or wellies
A hat, gloves, scarf and double socks in the cold weather
Waterproofs
Medication
A drink and a snack
Limited spaces, so booking is essential.
