Great Day Out<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a great day out for some of you. We don\u2019t normally cover regional events, but this one is special. It\u2019s in aid of the charity we support, Medical Detection Dogs. On top of which it sounds like a lot of fun. We know some of our friends live down in the South West so we thought they\u2019d like to know about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How good is your nose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you may be aware, Medical Detection Dogs trains dogs to sniff out various health issues and alert their owners. We can do things like that when you humans can\u2019t. Our noses are much more sensitive and as a result we can even be trained to sniff out cancer. Anyway, our friends at Medical Detection Dogs<\/a> thought it would be fun to set up a chance for humans to see how good their noses are. Dogs get to take part too and there\u2019s a prize for the winners. It\u2019s all taking place on Sunday 5th<\/sup> April near Ottery St Mary in Devon. Here is what they say.<\/p>\n\n\n

Six Secret Scents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medical Detection Dogs are inviting adventurers to the Escot\nEstate, where on Sunday 5th<\/sup> April they\u2019ll be placing six secret\nscents at sniffing stations located around the beautiful grounds of the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adults, children, and their dogs are all invited to come along\nand sniff out the puzzling perfumes. For the teams who can correctly identify\nthe most smells, there will be prizes including a family voucher for Wildwood\nat Escot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fun and unique adventure will take place between 10am until 1pm on Sunday 5th<\/sup> April and will cost a donation of \u00a320 for a family adventure (two children and two adults), or \u00a38 for an adult or \u00a34 for a child under 16. All proceeds will go towards supporting the work of Medical Detection Dogs.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book In Advance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Donations can be made on the day or in advance; there\u2019ll only be space for a limited number of adventurers, so get in touch with Rebecca at rebecca.pearce@medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk<\/a> to reserve a place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escot Estate is near Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1LU<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do hope one of our friends goes so we can hear back how it all goes. If you go let us know and have a fantastic time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
