For the third successive year myself and Jess Eades will be running a series of short Bat Awareness training sessions in the Peaks.
We will be taking small groups of cavers/mine explorers undergound to look for bats and also discuss basic bat ecology and legislation.
We usually hold the sessions in the Via Gellia (nr Cromford) as there are several easy and short trips with reasonable numbers of bats. Sessions last for about half a day and will probably run from mid December until the end of March.
If anyone is interested, please drop me a PM with you email address and contact tel no. please. You will be added to our list and people will be invited to attend sessions on a first come first served basis.
Itis likely that we won't be doing this next year - this takes up quite a bit of our free time during the winter and we seem to miss out on a quite a few caving trips and we also need to spend some time doing more serious survey work.
Cheers
