We invite you and your family to join us on Saturday, 19th October, at 5.30 pm for our Kids Adventurist Family Night Walk from Saltdean.
This is one for families to get involved in as we explore the wonders of the great outdoors after dark, together and is a great opportunity for us all to get up close and personal with nature in a new and exciting way.
During the walk, we will lead you and your children through the "wilds" of Saltdean and hopefully see and hear some of our local nightlife... if we're quiet enough. If not, it will be an excellent experience for the kids anyway ;-)
We'll meet as the sun sets and begin our walk towards the Tye.
Our eyes will slowly adjust to the night sky above us as we make our way across to the open fields. If we're lucky, we'll have a clear sky and will pause for a bit to watch the star-lit sky.
On our return, we'll stop to listen for any sounds of nocturnal animals and see if we can spot any owls or bats flying overhead.
We'll circle back along the tracks we made at dusk as the Wanning Gibbous Moon rises and lights our way back to the start.
We can't wait to share this exciting experience with you and your family! Come join Kids Adventurist for a night of wonder and discovery in the great outdoors.
