Pembrokeshire Tales

26/10/2010

All the best places are hard to get to. This is because all the best places are a little bit wild. The Arctic, the heart of Borneo and deepest darkest Pembrokeshire. I was invited down to Haverford West earlier this year to join in a great project set up by the Darwin Centre. This is a fantastic organisation that enables virtually all of the school children in Pembrokeshire to get out and about exploring the world around them and learning about science. Photos of the event I was involved with below show some of the range of activities they were all involved with.

The title of my talk may seem a little extreme for primary school children but really they love it. If it can mash you, bite you, sting you or crush you - they want to hear about it!

Science is a real passion of mine and I love reading about it, watching documentaries about it and talking to people about it. Life on this planet is simply astounding from the world of bacteria to creatures like the blue whale.

I was given another opportunity to wax lyrical about my adventures at ‘Nature Exchange Day’ in another part of the county just last week. The group organising this day was ‘Planed’ (pronounced “Plan Ed”) which assists lots of volunteer groups around the county with an emphasis on the environment and biodiversity. It was a great event highlighting just what an amazing amount is being done by volunteer groups all over this area. 

As it takes 4 hours to get to Pembrokeshire I decided to stay down a little longer this time and explore a bit more of this amazing county. We were blessed with fantastic weather for October and manage to launch the canoe on the Estuary and Coastline. It was only a taster of what’s on offer and I’m definitely going to be back soon.
