Stepping onto the quay at St Agnes in Late October, I quickly realised that an appreciation of the beauty of the islands would have to be postponed, as Biz whisked me off to assist with bait station installation on Gugh. An enjoyably busy ensuing fortnight seemed to flash past in no time at all, as the team prepared the way for commencement of baiting. I don’t think it was luck that I was able to join up with such a wonderfully committed group of people coming together for such a worthwhile cause; the project leaders, with all their accumulated experience, were very professional in their approach, blending impeccably with the team of volunteers to fashion a well-oiled machine that it was a pleasure to be a part of! Oh, and the Islands are lovely of course, as I soon foundout! Thinking of volunteering? – Well I’d certainly recommend it!
