Snowdonia
4 September 2010
Our bloggers will spend a day "hanging out" with sheep. They'll have a chance to make their very own Sheep Poo Paper and learn the ways of being a humble farmer, rounding up sheep in the countryside. Then comes the test of getting the readers to come up with reasons why they would like to receive a handwritten postcard from the blogger made from Sheep Poo Paper.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ARIES, FROM HONG KONG, FOR EMERGING AS THE WINNER OF THE GREAT WELSH SHOWDOWN!

Sheep Poo Paper

It was a wooly experience for the 6 bloggers today. First up was a visit to the Sheep Poo Paper paper mill, which is set in the middle of a quarry in Snowdonia. Lez, the co-owner of Creative Paper Wales, the makers of Sheep Poo Paper, gave a mini tour around the facilities of the place and explained the history behind the company and processes of making Sheep Poo Paper. The bloggers then had a go at making some Sheep Poo Paper of their own.

Next up, the bloggers had a chance to learn the ways of herding sheep. Under the guidance of Gwynn, an experienced sheep dog trainer, the bloggers had an attempt in giving commands to sheep dogs and herding the sheep.

For this challenge, the bloggers will be sending out a card made of Sheep Poo Paper to one of you readers. All you have to do is to put the most creative comment on your favourite blogger’s post, explaining why you should receive this card. And again, the blogger who receives the most comments, will win this challenge.
