A NEW education hide has been officially opened at Pennington Flash Country Park.

The hide, at Pengies Pond, was opened by Pauline Deans, of Pennington Rangers, and pupils and teachers from Hindley Junior and Infant School. It will be used for school educational visits, as well as the general public, and provides excellent views of Pengies Pond. The hide has been built with part sponsorship of £5,000 from BNFL Warrington. This is the second hide that BNFL has sponsored at Pennington Flash, the first being the Waterside Hide.
