Hi all, did you know we have a website full of awesome walks in the Bay of Plenty region and beyond, just waiting for you to take a look at www.forestfamilynz.com! Check it out for awesome inspiration over the school holidays. We detail the tracks with the type of information parents in particular might need to know we also tell stories and show you photos and the odd video of our own experience. Sometimes it helps to have a heads up!

So get put your raincoats on (its winter here in NZ) and get out there with the kids! Yes it can be cold, wet and hard to feel inspired to get out the door… but I promise you will all feel better for it and a little bit proud I dare say. 😊 And just think how good will the hot chocolates taste afterwards??? Toasty.☕✌😊🌿🌦
