Risk assessment
Dedicated to my husband (aka Wildkids Trevor) for being the most wonderful marriage and business partner! To our children, Alex and Pirran for enjoying so many nature adventures together.
And to all the parents, carers and kids who I hope will make some memories together with this book as a guide.
Disclaimer
This book provides information and inspiration to support you in getting out and about in nature. It will include tips and advice for making adventures in nature as safe as possible, but it’s no substitution for carrying out your own risk assessment. Tips will be included on how to do that too!
