Join JAG Outdoors for a walk around the forest at night.The guided walk will cover 3-4 miles of trails enjoying the magic of the forest in the growing darkness using all your senses to explore the world after the sun sets. Weather permitting there will hopefully also be able to stop for some amazing star gazing opportunities.
As an amateur astronomer Jo from JAG Outdoors can help you have some fun finding the major constellations and will have star maps and guides on hand.
Please be aware the route will be on a range of surfaces and may be wet and muddy.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
Please bring a torch per person if possible. A red filter is ideal for when we stop to star gaze otherwise we will be turning the torches off!!
Well behaved dogs and children welcome.
We suggest you bring a flask of warm drink and maybe a snack, especially if bringing youngsters.
Children under 12 must be within reach of their responsible appropriate adult at all times, older children must have an over 18 on site for the event.
