Family Adventures : How to adventure with babies and children Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A practical guide to involving babies and children in all sorts of adventures, whether it be cycling, camping, paddling, hiking, swimming or outdoor holidays. As soon as Bex Band, founder of the UK’s largest women’s adventure community, Love Her Wild, announced she was pregnant with her first child, the sympathy began. ‘Enjoy your adventures while you can’, ‘It’s going to be a big shock not being able to travel as much’, and ‘Aren’t you going to miss adventuring?’It seemed as though having children was a death sentence when you’re an outdoor adventurer. But it really doesn’t have to be that way. Yes, it’s a scary prospect – how do you keep them safe?

Where do they sleep? What equipment do you need? - but it’s totally doable. When Bex's daughter was just a few weeks old, Bex and her husband took her camping.

Now age 2, she’s been wild camping on Dartmoor, cycling along the coast, swimming in rural lakes and even carried in a backpack on a multi-day Negev desert hike.

Now, she shares her stories and insights in Family Adventures, a practical and inspirational guide to involving babies and children in outdoor adventures. This guide is full of useful information (such as what to pack when camping with an infant or how to keep children safe in open water), invaluable tips (family games you can play around a campfire or how to keep morale up in bad weather) and plenty of honesty around things going wrong (poo-explosion on a wild camp, anyone?).

Experiences from adventuring families also provide a plethora of insights so that you’re well equipped to make your family adventuring dreams a reality.
