The Montes of Malaga.
In October we went on our first excursion, to the Montes of Malaga natural park. This was our first experience of orienteering.We had such fun. 'My best day out ever, Miss Jane'. |
We were armed with maps, compasses, trundle wheels, grids, magnifying lenses, meter sticks, tape measures and a first aid kit. We hiked the winding trails through the Aleppo pines, observing and recording the different habitats along the way and then we lost Mr Wilcock!!

The never ending trail.
and at the end there was a pot of gold! |
WE FOUND HIM. He was hiding in G6, SW 10m, N.E 2.5m, but elevated!
"Miss Jane, what's the grid reference when you are up a tree?'
