The Botanical Ramble 2014
Ramble through wild flowers spectacular in abundance, variety and colour with the delightful and highly knowledgeable naturalist Crinan Alexander. With Crinan the walking is in a very gentle fashion with time to identify and photograph flowers, butterflies and insects. Each day you set out to visit different habitats from limestone sierras to meadows and the botanically fascinating Rock of Gibraltar. From time to time Hugh will also lead longer walks for the more robust walker. There will also be a visit to formal gardens.
