Did you sleep out in the great outdoors this last weekend? Well our Big Wild Sleepout event at Frampton Marsh was great fun. We had 20 people in total and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. After all the tents were set up, Chris took everyone on an evening wildlife walk while I stayed back as camp watchmen. It was amazing listening to the sounds of the birds, most notably the 2000+ black-tailed godwits that were having a good old natter before going to bed. On returning from their ventures everyone was offered a lovely hot chocolate before going back to their tents for a chill out and then settling down for the night. We were pretty lucky with the weather, not a drop of rain fell and a beautiful sunset. Chris had put out a moth trap so in the morning the families could see what was caught before packing up and leaving. All in all it was lots of fun and a pretty unique experience. It's not everyday you get to pitch a tent up and sleep out on a nature reserve!!!
Above are a couple of photos I took in the evening
