and we had great time again this year with these guys, canoeing the Ardeche, white water rafting, caving, abseiling and gorge walking. Perfect for 10-16 year olds and parent/guardians (there are also activities for youngers) Some pix on Flickr

Welcome to the Crocky Trail 2007

the Crocky Trail

its near Chester, our kids love it, and we had a great afternoon today for arrun's birthday trip with five 11-12 year olds.

You might want to know that some people regard it as a health and safety nightmare, while many share my view that this is exactly the sort of activity that kids of my generation regarded as normal fun, and which is squeezed out in risk society. Anyway, see reviews here: http://www.childfriendly.net/view/place/375
