Lots of reports from colleagues about black ice & challenging driving conditions rn. We *know* how amazing the #GreatNorthBog is but please consider whether your journey is really necessary before you visit. And if it *is*, please drive carefully & be sure you have appropriate supplies & clothing.

As our friend Mariah says, if all you want for Christmas is a blanket bog, we’ve got you covered. We’re bringing the bog to you! In collaboration with the Craven College in Skipton, we’ve created a VR experience that makes peatlands accessible to everyone #GreatNorthBog #SphagnumMonday #Christmoss 🎁
