Fancy
a couple of nights to getting back to nature with the kids?
Why not leave Mum at home and join in the big adventure campout
What’s
it for?
A few of us Dads decided we wanted the kids to experience a
bit of good old fashioned camping. Something they’d
remember that would drag them away from the TV and iPads
for once. We wanted a campfire as well as a safe place to
forage and Herons Lodge near Loughton (www.heronslodge.co.uk/)
was perfect. The Campout is most suited to Dad's /
Uncles / Grandads and the over 4's but any age / responsible
adult / child combinations are welcome. So get on the jungle
drums
and invite friends, family, colleagues - anyone who you think
would enjoy it. This is now the second Big Campout and last
year was pretty awesome so this year we've extended it an
extra night and have even more stuff planned.
What's the plan?
We’ll meet at around 6pm on Friday and set up our
tents, then meet around the campfire at around 8pm for
marshmallow toasting and hot chocolate. After breakfast on Saturday the 'Its
a Knockout' tournament begins, continues after lunch and culminates after tea
with yet another campfire and prize
giving.
Finally we’ll have breakfast together
on Sunday, before packing up at our leisure and heading back
home.
What will we need?
If you’ve got a tent that’s great, if not we should
be able to sort you out. And apart from some bedding / sleeping
bag and toiletries you’re good to go. All food, drink,
and activities will be taken care of. There are basic showers,
toilets and a clubhouse in case the weather
turns nasty.
How much will it cost?
Cost is £20 per adult (over 16) and £15 per child or whatever you can
afford.
