We organised a trip to Flat Holm for the newbie tour guides. We were the second of the two BIV boats going over to the island. We were collected at Barrage South, and went over to the island in convoy. It was a bit bumpy and quite wet even though we were in the wake of the first BIV boat.
Simon took us and the paying customers on his island tour. There was wild turnip all over the place. It looks like rape, which is part of the same family. The Wild peony, which grows in one small fenced off section of the island was in bloom. The area by the farmhouse was covered in bluebells. Most were British but the invasive Spanish have reached the island and hybridisation is happening. The birds were quite feisty as they had started laying eggs, but not too feisty.
Decided that I was ready to do a tour guide trip on my own.
