August Adventures www.quexmuseum.org
Safari Survival Skills
BUILD A SHELTER, STARE DOWN A LION, COLLECT WATER OR TRACK AN ANTELOPE...... all in the Gardens of the Powell-Cotton Museum at Quex Park in Birchington.
Major Percy Powell-Cotton faced many pitfalls and perils during his 50 years of exploring in Africa. In our Garden base camp you will hear Percy’s stories of survival and pick up some useful hints for your next adventure. You will learn how to identify animals by the marks they leave behind, how to cross a river and how to survive encounters with potentially dangerous animals. Base camp is also the place where you will practice some potentially lifesaving activities. Your first challenge though is to find base camp! Percy made his own maps for the places he explored www.facebook.com/PowellCottonMuseum @PowellCotton
Once you are there you will build a solar still to collect water, make rope, learn some simple knots, and build and test a prototype shelter. With this knowledge and these skills fresh in your mind you will face our trialsome trail. Follow Percy’s map to come face-to-face with your own challenges. Should you survive and return to base camp you will be rewarded with your Certificate of Adventuring.
