Adventure Togs ..... and all that!

Arial Adventure at Center Parcs

 
Now the children are safely back at school and I have regained my sanity (slightly), I can tell you a bit about my adventures at Center Parcs this summer. We are Center Parcs veterans and have done it all over the years, except for the tree trekking, this was a first.

I've always fancied it and as I am more adventurous in my 40's than I ever was in my 20's, my 13 yr old and I took to the trees together. It was damp and drizzly and I was wishing it to be called off as had been my 9 yr old's football earlier in the day. No such luck! We were off...

I had to keep encouraging 13 yr old Lewys that he could do it and not to look down. He was in front of me and if he could do it, well....I could too. I was concentrating so hard I forgot about the rain and my worries about slipping. I knew we were harnessed in well and there was no chance of us actually falling more than an inch. The most difficult part was about half way along, and once I was over that I was flying (well, almost). I thought the Zip Wire was going to be the easy bit, but I just couldn't jump. It just seemed so far, across the lake...OMG. I'm not sure what happened in the end. Did I jump? or Was I pushed? Whatever happened I was screaming my way accross the lake and my applauding family. I can't wait to do it again!

Parents all over the country are in a panic - they are off on holiday and the childrens rainwear is too small.

Childrens UV Protective Clothing

It has become so important that we protect our skin from the damaging rays of the sun. Reading an article in the Telegraph last Saturday Doctor Dawood: Why do we carry on tanning? made me realise that many people are still not taking the dangers seriously enough. There is no excuse for sunburn when there so many excellent sun protection products on the market. In addition to the multitude of high uv factor lotions and potions, there is clothing which will almost totally block out UV rays. We have recently introduced some Konfidence Childrens UV Protective Clothing to our range. From UV protection t-shirts  to long sleeve UV Suits for babies and toddlers. The range also comes with matching hats.
