Join JAG Outdoors for a walk around the forest at night.
The walk will cover up 5 - 7 miles in the forest and out on to the fell tops just outside the forest bounds, depending on the weather and conditions.
This is a more challenging event than the standard Dark Skies Walks, taking around 2.5 -3 hours for the walk. Weather permitting the group will be able to stop for some amazing star gazing opportunities.
As an amateur astronomer Jo from JAG Outdoors help you have some fun finding the major constellations and will have star maps and guides on hand.
Please be aware the route will be on a range of surfaces and may be wet and muddy.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the fells, as well as extra layers, a waterproof and some food and drink.
Please bring a torch per person if possible. A red filter is ideal for when we stop to star gaze otherwise we will be turning the torches off!!
Dogs and children welcome - please be aware of the more remote and challenging nature of this walk. Babies in carriers are able to join for free and sleep away the night.
Please bring a flask of warm drink and a snack or two for yourselves.
Children under 12 must be within reach of their responsible appropriate adult at all times, older children must have an over 18 on site for the event.
