Its getting bigger!

The sensory trail at Barnstondale has been a huge hit since we opened it. Such a hit that we've had to replace some moving parts already, because of how much fun children have had playing on it!

So now we're making it even bigger and better for 2017, adding an extension to the existing trail to make a complete loop. If you're visiting Barnstondale this year then keep an eye out for it being completed and opened.
The only question is what to call it now. Sensory Trail extended edition? Sensory trail directors cut? Sensory trail 1.1? What do you think?

Thanks for coming, Margaret, hope you enjoyed the tour!

It was all mellow sunlight and mists in the woods today. It really is a wonderful time to be at Barnstondale and go exploring.

We're full of Autumn colour here at Barnstodale at the moment....though it does mean there's an awful lot of clearing up to do too!
Top clear up efforts by Eddie, Les and Simon!

Ain't no face like an "I'm on the climbing wall and I'm really concentrating" face!
Our fantastic climbing wall gives young people a real challenge - when they take it on and give it their best shot they succeed in discovering new things they're capable of, growing in confidence as a result.

Some curious natural sculptures appeared in the trees around the sensory trail over the summer.
I wonder which group it was who made them? They're really good!

We've got volunteers from @vauxhall, managers from all around the UK, hard at work around the site today, just like this crew from last year.
Its great having them to help, we just hope they can keep up with our resident super-volunteer, John! 😀

One of our great supporters is @vauxhall - many thanks to them for supplying our lovely new Zafira. Keep an eye out for it on the road.
Volunteers from Vauxhall Ellesmere Port will be at the centre on Wednesday too. We're looking forward to welcoming them, they were a big help on their last visit!

We've all had those "I was talking to the mayor when a giant owl wandered in" moments, right?
