Morning all! It's rather fresh out there today isn't it? John, our Business Development Manager has just had some exciting news through this morning, three of our products will be featuring on The Gadget Show on the 19th December! Hopefully gathering the same success as the Salomon Cosmic 4D GTX Boot did in September 2009, this years pick are The Lowa Renegade II, Timberland 6 Inch Premium and The North Face Chilkats. The Cosmic really has had a devout following ever since it's appearance, although in saying that the quality of the boot really does sell itself.
Following on quite neatly from last weeks post we thought we'd have a closer look at The Chesnut Centre Conservation & Wildlife Park. Situated just North-East of Chapel-en-le-Frith, it's also only a stones throw away from Buxton, which provides a healthy base for the Peaks. Having been there myself I can attest that it's well worth a visit! We found it by accident actually whilst out for a drive around the surrounding area. The Park's main focus is on it's Otter and Owl inhabitants.
Theres a mini lake in the centre of the park where you can amble around and watch the playful Otter's in their natural habitat. There are points where you have to play 'spot the otter', but theres always one that gleefully pokes it head out of the water for a photo opportunity. Down from the lake you find yourself greeted by all sorts of Owls, Pine Martens and other furry friends.
The park itself was founded in 1984 by the Heap family, who also own and run the New Forest Wildlife Park in Marchwood, Hampshire. As well as being a fantastic family attraction, the Chesnut Centre does valuable work when it comes to care facilities and rehabilitation for injured or orphaned otters.
Not into that? Try this...
If Owls and Otters aren't your thing then maybe the Bakewell Craft & Gift Fair can interest you? It happens every weekend in the Bridgend Hall, which is situated just through the bath gardens in the centre of town. Theres always hundreds of unique stalls selling individual crafts and gifts, perfect for a few stocking fillers! Plus you can pay a visit to one of the towns many bakery's and sample the world famous Bakewell Tart!
It's open this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 10-30am till 4-30pm.
