Day one of our first #AdventureExpeditions Arran John Muir Award residential of 2023.

We hit the ground running with some volunteering with Malcolm and Jamie from the #arrangeopark. Everyone loved bashing bracken, clearing the Postman's Path above Lochranza, one of the wilder sections of Arran's Coastal Way.

We are based in Lochranza all week and are looking forward to discovering the wildlife around the village. ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿฆญ๐Ÿฆฆ๐Ÿฟ

Also on our walk today, we had a look at this amazing fossil footprint. This is the footprint left by a Chirotherium or "hand-beast" in 270 million year old sediments. There are a few places on Arran where you can see giant reptile prints like these. https://www.scottishgeology.com/geo/scotlands-fossils/triassic-reptiles/
