MOORS VALLEY AND THE NDCS LISTENING BUS
APRIL 2010
Over the Easter break 86 members came along to Moors Valley Country Park, not only to enjoy a day out, but also to visit the NDCS LISTENING BUS! This was Dorset DCS first trip to Moors Valley and it was an added bonus that we were able to arrange for the Listening Bus to be there on the same day.
The weather held out and although not a brilliant sunny day it did not rain! Families were able to enjoy the Tree Top Trail and the Play Trail with its unique wooden play structures set along a 1 mile trail through the Forest and included the Giant Wood Ants Nest, Crocodile Crossing, Snake Pit and the new webs. The children had a great time in the play area, which is split in two with the Castle and Sandworks for the younger children and the Zip Wire, Space Net and Fort for the older ones. Some energetic families even bought their bicycles and cycled round the park. It really is a great day out for all the family.
The Listening Bus was open for visitors to experience some of the support technology available and also to talk and get advice from the NDCS staff, Louise and Damien. Families that wished to met up for a picnic lunch and afterwards everyone descended on Kingsmere Station for a ride on the miniature railway. There was much waving and screaming through the tunnels!
All in all it was another great day out for Dorset DCS!
