Interpretation panels for Rhuddlan Nature Reserve

The first of six interpretation panels have been installed at Rhuddlan Nature Reserve. Local children have been involved in the design process throughout. The panels feature information on Rhuddlan Castle, the former railway station and the flora and fauna of the site.

The panels were illustrated by Steven Woods who really enjoys producing intricate isometric maps. The panels were completed soon after a new campus map for Edge Hill University and Steven is really eager for anybody wanting this kind of map to get in touch. The bigger the better as far as he is concerned!

Go!TravelWise.com Launched

Thanks to our chums at TravelWise (TW) yesterday for the invite to launch the Go! Schools sites at their Sustaining the Journey to School event.

Huw Jenkins, Chair of  TravelWise Group/Merseytravel introduced  Sara Mair, our education specialist from Mair Education and I  to present the Go! sites to Merseyside schools.  One teacher told me her class pretended to be the TW Walk2school characters; Reece, Suzy, Ash and Mia. The characters were originally illustrated by Ste Woods in 2006  (see site! –  they have their own personalities, travel to school stories and lots of illustrations so teachers and pupils can create fun activities.)

Finally, thanks from me and Sara to Splinter’s Baz, Shane, Sarah and Kevin, Dave and the TW team and all the local authority officers for  their hard work. Also a big thanks to the teachers, children and young people for their input.

To find out more about Go! check out our portfolio.
