a weekend of sunshine and frost and clear, bright days and cold bright nights.......working with members of the SpeyGrian network to add a little flavour of Creeping Toad chaos to their activities...

SpeyGrian: SpeyGrian is a group of artists, writers, scientists and educators, united in their love of outdoor learning. We aim to provide a catalyst for change at both a personal and a national level by bringing new perspectives to the relationship we have with the natural world. We achieve our aims by offering training courses, arranging informal (and fun!) meetings and sharing our reflections through stories, music, writing and art. (taken from their website)
