Making the Most of Moorlands Update

MTAF 2016

Had a fantastic weekend at the Muckle Toon Adventure Festival. Took some groups stream dipping, Beckie and myself provided a couple of Tent Talks featuring Totem Ducks and finger puppets, there was rock painting, skull displays and moorland crafts at the MMM tent and a brilliant time was had by all!! Thanks to our volunteers Cerys, Amy, Lucy, Lizzie, David and Adam for all their help and thanks to the MTAF Team for inviting us along and organising such a great festival!
