I've just been around the reserve for the first time in ages and seen the results of all the wet weather we've endured over the past few months.
Mud! Mounds of it! But hey! Not a reason to postpone your visit if you've got children who fancy a squelching time.
Put their wellies on, rain jacket and hat and make your way to the little meadow between our Woodland Trail and the canal - there you'll find mud and lots of it. Just perfect for stomping about and making a mess.
Why let a little bit of soft ground spoil a perfectly good time outdoors.
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
