Trip to exmoor Tuesday 1st october
What an AMAZING day we had on Exmoor! There were SO many wow moments - I wish you could have all seen and heard the children as they reached the brow of the 2 hills we climbed and excitedly saw and ran round the ruins and a huge tower. It was just magical. We learnt a huge amount about Exmoor, our local national park, and the knowledge of our 2 park rangers was priceless. We then went to Dunster beach and the shouts of utter joy as they found a shell/a piece of seaweed was beautiful to observe and you needed ear defenders when they found crabs!
