About this word search

The Dawn chorus is the burst of birdsong around sunrise, loudest in spring. Midges are a famous nuisance for anyone camping in the Scottish Highlands in summer.

Orienteering is a sport where you find your way between checkpoints using a map and compass, and Kindling is the small dry wood used to get a fire going.

Insect repellent and Orienteering are the longest anchors in an eighteen-square grid where words go in every direction. The K in Rucksack and Penknife stands out.
