Mini adventures

I was put to the test and had to work hard to keep up with these mini explorers! Running ahead, climbing trees and hiding in dens and the low heath. I was very muddy by the end of it - which is always a good sign for me!

We spent lots of time exploring Coopers Hill in Ampthill, Bedfordshire - a really unique landscape and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. It sits on the Greensand Ridge, a geological feature stretching from Leighton Buzzard to Gamlingay in south Cambridgeshire. 

The reserve consists of rare and endangered open heath, patches of gorse and broom and isolated trees, surrounded by pockets of woodland. The children loved playing hide and seek in the heath and it was great fun photographing them enjoying their surroundings.
