Adventure in the New Forest

An Adventure in the New Forest

On Saturday, 24th May, we gathered a fabulous group of 15 adventurous ladies for a day of exploration and enlightenment on a brand new route through the enchanting New Forest. With the sun shining and spirits high, we set off on a journey filled with laughter, learning, and a touch of wilderness!

Survival Skills and Nature's Wonders

As we meandered through the breathtaking scenery, we paused to dive into discussions about survival skills. Who knew that nature held so many secrets? From identifying edible plants to understanding animal tracks, every moment was a chance to soak up knowledge like a sponge! Our surroundings became our classroom, and each step was a lesson in mindfulness and respect for the protected areas and their inhabitants.

The Nettle Leaf Challenge

And then came the moment that had everyone buzzing! Liz, our brave nature enthusiast, decided to take on the ultimate challenge: eating a nettle leaf and flower! With a mix of giggles and gasps, she demonstrated her boldness, proving that sometimes, adventure means trying something a little out of the ordinary. Who knew nettles could be so... gourmet?

A Day to Remember

As we wrapped up our day, we carried with us not just the knowledge of survival skills and nature's beauty, but also the joy of shared experiences and new friendships. The New Forest had woven its magic around us, reminding us to cherish and protect the wild wonders that surround us. Here’s to more adventures and unforgettable moments!
