Walmsley hides.
Please note that there will be groups using the Walmsley hides on Fri 24th, Mon 27th Feb & Fri 2nd March from 10-am to 12 noon.
Times are approximate and members can still get access if they wish but be prepared for it to be a busy place.
These visits are part of our educational access remit.
These are the last of the planned visits for this winter.
The new hide at Middle Amble is not affected.
Thanks, Adrian. (Warden).
