On Saturday 12th July, Baxenden’s beaver scouts and the beaver scouts for All St’s Clayton Le Moors and 109th Loyola oswaldtwistle, went on a fabulous day trip to Hesketh Park Farm, situated on the Bolton Abbey Estate in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Farm boasts Sheep, Cattle, Pigs (which we brushed), Goats, Hens, Donkeys, Ponies, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and a giant Tortoise, many of which the beavers where fortunate enough to freely handle and feed.
We all took a trip on the tractor tour to see the giant Belgian Blue Bull, and we where lucky enough to also get the opportunity to collect eggs from the hen houses.
Whilst the leaders chilled with beverages, the Beavers used the opportunity to spend some time climbing around on the outdoor adventure playground, whizzing round on the pedal go-kart track or just enjoying some time in the indoor play area on the pedal tractors and straw maze.
We had a really fantastic day:- thanks to Claire Rothwell, All St’s Tuesday Beavers, for inviting our colony along and sorting out all the arrangements for both groups.
