Guided Bat Walk with Outer Hebrides Bat Group (Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival)

Come and join the Outer Hebrides Bat Group on a guided bat walk around the Lewis Castle grounds. We'll meet half an hour before sunset, brief you and take a walk around the castle grounds looking for bats. As we walk, we'll talk about all things bats, their biology, behaviour, conservation and more. We'll even have bat detectors on hand to let you try them out! We'll be walking around the castle grounds, mostly walking woodland paths. The route may be as much as 2-3 km long over varying qualities of pathways, with slight undulation at times (it will also be dark) so this event may not be suitable for those with limited mobility or wheelchair users. 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. Please dress appropriately for the weather (remember it's late so it may begin to get colder as the walk goes on). Wear appropriate footwear for walking on mixed terrain with good ankle support. Bring along a torch and/or head torch if you have one. This event is FREE but donations are welcome. Book your place via: outerhebridesbatgroup@gmail.com.
