Hello to everyone, if you will do me the honour i could use some advice!
My boys and i are about to go campnig in a wood and i was wondering about water safety.
The wood (which is very rarely visited by anyone as it has very few dry spots as its very boggy) has a pond and a stream.
The pond used to hold fish, rudd and roach hybrids, but i'm not sur if cormerants have ate them.
The stream that feeds the pond is extremily slow running and is red in some areas, especially near where we intend to camp.
In the surrounding area there is a golf course, motor way and farmers fields.
I am mainly concearned with the risk of my kids and i drinking water that has been contaminated by pesticides and fertilisers. There are lots of big trees surrounding the pond and stream.
Is there any (Good, inexpensive U.K.) kits i could buy to test the conditions ?
I am very new at doing this sort of thing and safety is paramount as i am taking my boys.
I have tried to give as much info as possible but if you wish to ask me anything please do so.
Thank you all for your input...MACKA & KIDS.....
