Sands Bank Hike in Chilterns – Chatting about Kids in Nature
A recent Sands Bank hike in the Chilterns got me thinking about the benefits of kids in nature and the true understanding of what it can bring to them.
An impromptu hike on a sunny, but bitter cold winter morning with beautiful colours highlighted by the sunshine. The perfect setting for a woodland coffee brew and a good chat about the benefits of kids in nature.
