June 26th 2002 Pond dipping at Hollingworth Lake Country Park
Armed with nets and viewing tubs, we walked the short distance from the
visitors centre to a small lake where we found lots of interesting creatures
including Mayfly Larvae, Water boatmen and pond skaters.

Burrs

Brownhill searched and found the ideal place for our young outward-bound
enthusiasts.  Burrs Country Park, just outside the centre of Bury, which is
a 25 minute minibus ride from Brownhill.

Burrs trips started in 2001, but in 2002, visits to Burrs have increased to
every Friday afternoon Burrs has provided pupils with all kinds of outdoor
activities such as climbing, problem- solving, abseiling, orienteering and
most popular of all Kayaking and Canoeing.

Take a look at the fun we have, as you can see teamwork is very important.
