We also helped crowd source the list of activities from a broad range of practitioners within the Trust. I’m going to say that we haven’t done this enough and that it should still be on the list! No36 Make a home for a wild animal– 50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4 We’ve done a lot of camping but I don’t think it is true to say that we have done any wild camping. Not like We’re going on a Adventure Blog who really did do some wild camping with her three! You can visit at any time of the year, although some museums are not open on Mondays, except for bank holidays. They are also closed on Christmas, Boxing and New Year’s Day.

We love heading down to West Kirby beach nearby where we live and flying a kite. One of our favourites things to do. No8 Catch a Fish with a Net–50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4 We went through quite a phase of doing this and it’s definitely a great free activity. No50 Canoe down a river – 50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4 We have loads of these on the road and I feel like I should have a photo but I don’t! No11 Go on a really long bike ride -50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4Things achieved record web and social media traffic compared to previous NT campaigns. It has also been hugely successful in encouraging participation from Trust properties who have been running events and have permanently changed the way they communicate to visitors. Over 90% of visitors engaging with the campaign at properties in the first year said they would spend more time outdoors as a result. The idea really caught the attention of the media, attracting 131 pieces of media coverage on launch day alone (including 7 TV features) Best of all, there has been a lot of laughing. He has made me laugh, made other people laugh, laughed himself, and laughed at himself. “It has made turning 50 a good thing,” he says. “It could have easily gone the other way.” A safari at night yes, but I don’t think we’ve done a nature walk. No41 Plant it, Grow it, Eat it – 50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4 Lots of scary beasts at a session whilst on holiday in Swansea Bay at Easter a few years ago. No31 Hunt for Bugs –50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4

We’ve loved this in a lot of places but one of the most special places we will probably ever remember star gazing is on Domwe Island in Malawi. No pictures of actual starts but you can imagine how clear it was! Always – no such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes. Here we all are on our walk from Ilam Park to Dovedale Stepping Stones | National Trust

Now I’m not sure I even knew this was a thing! One for this Summer! No 18 Create some Wild Art–50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4 Give lots of (genuine) compliments this week. If you have a nice thought about someone, let it out! Now I guess it depends on what you regard as long but for mine at the moment 8 miles is about the maximum but I think this is pretty good for little ones! We get the 5 bikes around with a combination of carriers from Thule. Do a Life Expectancy Calculator test. So, how many years have you got left? Write down five things you’d really like to do in that time. There has definitely been cooking on a campfire on many occasions but the photos are sadly few and far between! We will do more this year as evidence for the list! No48 Learn to ride a horse – 50 things to do before you are 11 and 3/4
