Cruising – would you go with children?
I’ll be honest – I’ve never really fancied going on a cruise. I’m not sure why – I think it was the feeling that it was simply being locked in a hotel with all the guests for days ata time. I like my ‘me’ space too much! But recently? I’ve been wondering. Because I’ve been sorting and organising for our amazing Family Road Trip (which starts next week. SO absolutely not ready yet...
Long Distance Travel With Children? Here’s My Top Tips.
As I write this I am facing down the barrel of what will either be the adventure of the year… or a hellish month. Next week we are setting off in a Baileys Motorhome, and driving a round trip of over 3,000 miles in almost four weeks from Dorset through France and Italy via Venice, Rome, the Puglia Coast, the Amalfi Coast, Pisa and Tuscany, before meandering homewards again. See what I mean? Awesome… or nightmare. But...
Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
When we were setting out our plans for our #GoProAdventures there was one activity which Boy demanded, begged and pleaded for. Surfing. We tried it in Wales earlier this year, and he was utterly bitten by the surf bug, aching and aching to go and do it again. Sadly, our #GoProAdventures week coincided with a week totally lacking any kind of swell – standing up on a surf board wouldn’t have been any kind of a challenge,...
Kayaking in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures

Our two eldest had both tried Kayaking on a school’s activity week, but the rest of the family had never set foot in one. So it was with a nervous shiver of trepidation running under the excitement...

It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.
A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...
