These tried-and-tested day trips will have your family begging you for another outdoor adventure. Be inspired and get the most value from the outdoors with these 20 mini, midi and max adventures around Edinburgh.① Get Outside.Maybe your dog is looking up at you with those begging eyes saying, “walk....?”Maybe you’re like us and spent the pandemic trying to work while simultaneously limiting kids screen time, dragging them out for walks and getting bored of the same old routes. It was not an adventure...We're all more aware of the benefits of getting outside for our physical and mental health. We know we need to Get Outside.It’s not as simple as “Get Outside” though - is it?It takes effort to find somewhere 'different'The kids will complain that's it's too far / too boring / too windy...You're too busy to research new placesThis book will help you Get Outside as easily as possible - helping you create an adventure to remember forever.② Outside is Free.It's hard to ignore the rapidly increasing cost of living. A one hour session in an infection-ridden soft play is the LAST thing you want to spend your hard-earned money on....Outside is free. Outside can also be really boring - if you don’t have a plan.It's easier just to pay for cinema, soft play and trampoline parks.If you choose to embark on some of the adventures in this book, we promise that costs will be minimal. Outside is Free, but petrol and public transport are not! We have reduced costs on every adventure by bringing picnics; however, we're suckers for a decent independent cafe and try to include a recommendation in every adventure.This book will show you how to easily find a (nearly!) free adventure.③ Find Freedom.We don't have a dog (much to our daughter's disgust!) but there's an unwritten rule that you need to exercise them twice a day - right?It's the same with people.If you get outside as much as possible, you Find Freedom that you never knew existed.Our experience is that our kids seem to argue less when we're outside and they're not constantly asking to use the iPad. Instead, they're building little dams in rivers, climbing trees and spotting wildlife. We live in a city centre flat. We can't just let our kids out on the street to Find Freedom there, but we want them to experience the adventure of childhood.This book really tells the story of us trying to Find Freedom ourselves and explore the outdoors. Maybe you want that story for yourself too?④ Find Adventure.We've always loved The Goonies, believing it to be the ultimate family adventure film. Imagine having that adventure in your childhood?Whilst we can't offer our kids murdering baddies and pirate's gold, we can help them Find Adventure in their lives and make every weekend memorable.Finding wholesome and exciting adventures is not easy, especially when so many of the tourist spots around Edinburgh are 'old news' to families who live here. Who wants to go to the National Museum of Scotland AGAIN??!!We've put this book together to share some of our favourite day trips that are slightly more adventurous.Find Adventure inside this book. Choose from Mini, Midi or Max adventures and make memories this weekend. Read more
