Enjoy a night walk in an ancient forest in Gloucestershire with the Plodcast team of Fergus, Hannah and Jack. What is it like walking in the pitch black – and what stories and wild encounters will they experience? To help them in their quest, they deploy night vision scopes…
The night vision devices used by the team were:
Bushnell Equinox X650
Nightfox Corsac Night Vision Binoculars
Contact the Plodcast team and send your sound recordings of the countryside to: editor@countryfile.com.
If your letter, email or message is read out on the show, you could WIN a Plodcast Postbag prize of a wildlife- or countryside-themed book chosen by the team.
