FR5: BAT DISCOVERY WALK

Adult £4 / U16 £2 incl. donation to the Bat Conservation charity - 1.5 miles

Please note the start time is the time we leave so please arrive 10 minutes beforehand for registration & briefing.

Also, we have a ‘no dogs except assistance dogs’ policy for all our walks.

Our leader is Alison Raisey, an ecology officer with Wiltshire Council who has led this walk on every one of our Walking Festivals to date. We will only be walking about a mile and a half alongside the K&A Canal and River Avon. Much of the time will be spent looking and listening and the bat detectors (provided) will help us to identify each species of bat we come across; in past years we have identified seven different species.

Much of the walk is after dark so it would be helpful to bring a small torch; it would also be wise to wrap up warm as it will be chilly near the water at this time of year.

This will be Alison’s 11th Festival for us and her walks are always sold out, so you really do need to book early to avoid disappointment.

U16s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
