Clackclose Rangers set off early one Sunday morning at the beginning of June, not knowing quite what to expect, for a morning of Coastal Safari. We all met at the NT Activity Centre at Brancaster Staithe.
After our safety talk, and once we had all struggled (some more than others!) into our very fetching waterproof trousers we were off. Along the way Seb, our guide, taught the girls about various flora and fauna along the water line, including one plant which always grows at the very highest part of the marsh. Once on the marsh we all paired up with a mud buddy. Someone who will help you out of the mud if you got stuck. Little did we know just how stuck we would get!
Off we set out onto the mud flats. The girls were a little hesitant at
first but after getting feet, shoes and legs stuck in the mud, there was no
stopping them - as the photos show.
Unfortunately the one photo we all wanted but didn't manage to capture
was Bo doing the most amazing tumble (very graceful) down a mud bank and into
the water. All the while her sun hat stayed on!
We finished our day off with a picnic in Hunstanton, while being
serenaded (!!!) by a rock band. Then there were visits to the arcades, sweet shop, doughnut
stand, chip shop, tea and coffee stall and doughnut stand again.
It was not only our legs that ached (all that getting stuck in the mud) but also our faces and sides, from laughing so much.
