The Peak District - Explore the River Wye with Jack Perks (Day Trip)

Summary

Join river enthusiast and wildlife cameraman Jack Perks to enjoy the wildlife both above and below the surface of the River Wye. Exploring one of the most beautiful stretches of river in the Peak District, we’ll be following its banks for species like Dipper, Water Voles, Goosander, Brown and Rainbow Trout and possibly Grayling too. There is also a lot of hidden wildlife below the water and Jack will be bringing along a dip net, with time spent catching and identifying some of the smaller and hidden residents like stoneflies, mayflies, caddisflies, and with luck, also Brook Lamprey and Bullheads. Jack will provide a tank to photograph our catch. We’ll head into Bakewell for one of its tasty and must have Bakewell puddings around lunchtime before heading back out to the river in the afternoon to continue our explorations to enjoy anything we may come across, while appreciating our beautiful surroundings.

Meeting time is 9am and finishing at 3pm.
