Here's some Fri-Yay #feedback from a school who visited us for a #residential this year to warm your heart on this cold winters day ❄

Activity highlight: #Bushcraft! Bushcraft is a great activity for adults and children alike. Learn survival skills like plant and tree ID, fire lighting and making cordage out of natural materials. This activity can supplement #forestschool activities too!

We're more than just school trips! Mount Cook offers a wide range of activity filled programmes and events for businesses. Whether its an #AGM, a #teambuilding event, or a #CSR day, we can create a fun and engaging outdoor programme that benefits your organisation. www.mountcook.uk/corporate-gr...

Balloon and lantern releases create litter and #plasticpollution in landscapes and seas that can harm the environment, wildlife and livestock. Celebrate special occasions and loved ones by planting trees, wildflowers, or bee and butterfly gardens instead! Pic via Keep Britain Tidy
