Day 3 Last Day of Wolf Tracking Expedition
On the ridge of wolf territory
Howling to get a wolf response
finding hair of wolf eaten prey
After a hot coffee and breakfast, we'll pack our (much lighter after having eaten all the food) sacks and set off for the last day of our wolf tracking adventure.
We'll head back from the refuge, again following signs of the wolves, ultimately in the direction of the bed and breakfast or vehicle shuttle (if we have gone in a different direction following the wolves).
It's the last chance we'll have to see if we can catch a glimpse of where they are hiding so we'll take our time scanning the mountainsides with our binoculars! We'll also spend some time howling to see if we can elicit some communication with the wolves.
At the end of your adventure, you should be able to tell the difference between a dog print and wolf print, a chamois, deer or wild boar print, and whether it was running or walking and in what direction, you’ll have discovered the hiding places and dens of the animals and seen and heard plenty of wildlife. You may even have been lucky enough to have caught a glimpse of the wolves in action or heard them howling!
We'll then head off back to civilisation. We'll stop off for a shower and after trip drink so you can go off on to the night train feeling refreshed!
This is where we will have time to download the night pictures onto the computer and find out what all the strange noises were in the night!
We'll also fill out the forms to send in records of all the wolf activity we have seen to the wolf network and forest guards. This is all recorded and contributes to the knowledge database of wolf activity in the area and ultimately the environmental management of the region.
We'll give you a lift back to Gap train station for your night train or to your hotel for the night if you are staying an extra night.
