Anyone been to see the red squirrels at Snaizeholme?

[keljbj]

We are headed up north for a camping trip at the beginning of August and my sister, who lives up near where we are staying, has told me about the red squirrel viewing hide at Snaizeholme. Has anyone been? I'd like some idea of how likely i am to see the squirrels, how far the feeding station is from the hide etc before i decide whether to drag the children off on a long walk looking for them

Thanks.

This may help.
I have been twice and on both occasions I have seen them at close range. There is also a pro tog up there who as private land with lots of squirrels roaming about. Simon Philpott I think.

Here's a map of where some people have spotted them! http://www.shothotspot.com/hotspots...932037&onelng=-2.211662599999954#.Ue_XFm3NO3M

I thought actually it was only the Isle of Wight where you could still see them, guess not!
