Ancient Bones were discovered whilst working on our community garden in Thetford! π¦΄
Rory and John found the bones whilst they raked the soil ready for planting!
Archaeologists said the bones dated back to hundreds of years ago, when a church which was deconsecrated in the 16th century and later demolished stood on the site.
stay tuned for updates on our community garden π±

Throwback Photo… How long have we been running Paddleboard tours?
.
.
.
Since 2016! Before that, our founder was doing so for 4 years… and many of our team have been boating and coaching for over half their lives.
.
.
In fact, one of chucks best pals procured the first Paddleboard’s into the country from California who were way ahead of us in the UK and ripping up big white water rocers on them. @standuppaddleboarduk
.
.
.
Boards have evolved, as has the sport in all fashions at a tremendous pace.
.
.
We have also grown and been super lucky and fortunate to survive as a community not for profit social venture through Covid.
.
.
We have a great new year ahead and are really keen to see you all in person this forthcoming 2022.
.
.
We have some amazing project, great key partners and awesome team and volunteer members to really hit the year strong.
.
.
We are always happy to talk, share our experience or work with others. If you’re a business that could do with some green gym outdoor therapy, an adventure away day or are a school decision maker who wants that truly personal experience, please do reach out.
.
.
It is Windy, it’s is Stormy, that will pass. Don’t forget to get out and enjoy the fresh crisp air this season has to offer.
.
.

Huge Bush Adventure Love, Team @bushadventuresuk
