Monday morning

After a well deserved and needed sleep all tucked up with plenty of blankets we awoke to... more rain! Breakfast had plenty of variety and set up everyone ready for an early morning classroom session. After this note taking session everyone layered up and retrieved waterproofs from the drying room and we set off out into the rain.

First fieldwork task consisted of measuring abiotic and biotic conditions/factors within a peat bog. Once everyone had got used to having freezing fingers team leaders of each group allocated tasks to their team members and each group set about covering a transect area through the heather into the peat bog and back out again.

The task was finished with some treats... an infiltration race and a soil auger to measure deeper into the ground to try and reach the rock!

Team leaders, Kaleigh, Rosie and Kirsten did a fantastic job of rallying their troops!
