Day 8 Who left the freezer door open?
-
Today saw us being hosted by the Cairngorm Rangers at the station in Glen Clova. The group had the opportunity to have a look at the scale of the Cairngorm National Park and it's diverse landscape, from sheltered glens to full Arctic experience. The Ranger station is packed with information and the Rangers were keen to share. The original idea was to investigate a site of water vole activity in Corrie Feehttps://www.nature.scot/enjoying-outdoors/visit-our-nature-reserves/corrie-fee-national-nature-reserve , however they were having a bit of a snow day and any evidence would have disappeared under a blanket of snow . This did not deter the group and they experienced weather that would have made a Polar Bear put his big coat on. As John Muir experienced the power of nature by tying himself to a tree, you have to be in it to experience it. The group saw Red Deer, where they should not have been and left the Rangers to report. They also saw tracks from Fox, Otter and Pine Martin. Everyone was back safe after a roller coaster of a ride back to school. Thank you to the Rangers in Glen Doll see you next time. Must remember to include barf bags next time.
