Stuart will lead a walk of up to twenty people to look out to sea for sightings of cetaceans, and to help people understand the best places from which to hope for a viewing. He will share his vast knowledge of, and abiding passion for, these magnificent creatures that share our coastline.

 

Please note, this event follows on from Stuart’s talk at 13.00 at St Mary’s Church, but must be booked separately. There will be a maximum number of 20 people, and it must be understood that a sighting cannot be guaranteed.

 

The walk will be cancelled in the event of bad weather.
