"Adventure is out there -- You've just got to go and find it!"--Back cover.

"Children spend less time outside and more time in front of screens: computers, phones, games, television. This is a resource bank of tried and tested outdoor activities to enjoy with children, swapping 'screen time' for 'green time'. Particularly inspiring for people who want to get started, but don't know how, the book shows how any family, anywhere in the country, can enjoy time together outdoors. Activities are grouped into themes: Woodland, Water, Close to Home, Hills and Mountains, Exploring, By the Sea, Extreme Weather. Within each section is a range in difficulty, from making a rope swing to scrambling up a stream, from spending a day without electricity to going on a charity bike ride, from exploring a rockpool to camping on an uninhabited island. Tim and Kerry Meek, teachers from Nottingham, England, are just regular parents striving to bring up their two daughters, Amy (11) and Ella (9), as best they can"--Provided by publisher.
