Rowardennan was the site for one of the most unusual experiences in my career so far!!
I’d heard about rot-holes from various experts and to be fare they never really painted a rosey picture. In fact they were portrayed as a seething mass of putrification, swimming with maggots, some cannibalistic and most not the best looking organisms with a face only a mother could love. Not a nice place to be, unless you are a Hoverfly larvae.
So it was with great trepidation that I forced my arm ( all the way up too my shoulder almost!!) into a rotting tree stump.
It was actually quite a pleasant experience, far better than I had anticipated and less odorous.
Geoff Wilkinson, our new Hoverfly Apprentice, will be sticking his arm in various rot-holes in locations throughout Scotland as part of his 18 month apprentice. Best of luck Geoff!!
Here he is looking at Graham Rotheray, his mentor, with his arm in another rot-hole. Geoff is the one without the beard and the long blonde hair.
