4 ultimate Easter adventures with the kids



With the Easter bank holiday fast approaching and the weather hopefully beginning to warm up a little, now’s the perfect time to plan some fun family activities for the four-day weekend. If you’re in need of a little inspiration, we’ve rounded up our top four adventure ideas...

Join the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt

We’re going on an egg hunt, we’re going to catch a big one... Once again, Cadbury has teamed up with the National Trust to host its mighty egg hunts at National Trust locations across the UK. Crack the clues, complete the trail and be rewarded with a scrumptious, chocolatey treat (much deserved after all that walking!). Fancy making a whole day of it? Most of the National Trust sites will be putting on Easter-themed crafts and activities too.

Monkey around in the trees

Take your family adventures to dizzying new heights at Go Ape. Its tree-top high ropes course is perfect for families who love nothing more than to monkey around, with courses designed specifically for mini Tarzans as well as larger apes. Most of Go Ape’s courses are smack bang in the middle of the forest, so you could combine your trip with a spring-themed scavenger hunt, or take to the local mountain bike trails and put your cycling skills to the test.

Hit the slopes…on a tube














The snow may have melted away but that shouldn’t stop you from hitting the slopes. If you haven’t managed to enjoy a ski holiday this year, then there are plenty of ski centres across the UK where you can get your ski or snowboarding fix without even getting on a plane. Or how about tubing? It’s like sledging, but you whizz down the slope while sitting in the middle of a rubber tube instead – heaps of fun and it provides a lot more cushion as you glide over those bumps! The tubes can spin around and be linked together, meaning that no two rides are the same.

Swap a trek for a trot

If you want to switch things up, instead of a family walk why not swap two legs for four and head out on a horse (or pony) ride? Plenty of stables and riding centres offer full-day experiences where you’ll get to learn all about these noble steeds before taking to horseback for a gentle trot across the beautiful countryside. Be prepared, though, as some stables will expect you to muck in on mucking out!

Adventure with GP


These experiences will make for many picture-perfect moments, so bring GP along for the ride and always pack one of our trusty PowerBanks. They will keep your phone’s battery topped up all day long, so are the ideal companion for any Easter adventure!

The 4 benefits of walking every day – and how to stick at it

Image
Did you know that dog owners walk 79% further than non-dog owners? Great news for those with a canine companion...not so great for the rest of us who don’t have a beloved pooch to pry us out of our homes when it’s cold and wet outside. Dog or no dog, walking is a great way to get fit and lead a healthier lifestyle. Nature is free, not to mention the environmental advantages of walking instead of driving or catching the bus. Sure, walking outside isn’t so appealing in the winter months. But spring is just around the corner and soon, those lighter, warmer evenings will be tempting you to step outside and make the most of the great outdoors. There are lots of reasons to try and incorporate more walking into your day-to-day life. Here are four key benefits of walking every day for starters: 1.Reach your 150 minutes Walking can count towards the NHS’ recommended 150 minutes of exercise minimum per week, for people aged 19-64. A leisurely stroll through the park w...

7 perfect Christmas gift ideas for her

Image
These days, isn’t it just easier to ask the women in your life what they want for Christmas? At least you won’t get it horribly wrong that way… However, while it might be easier, every girl wants a surprise gift or two! The GP team has found seven gifts for her that are sure to bring a smile to her face – and we don’t mean a fake one… 1. Black+Blum Eau Good Charcoal Filter Water Bottle - £19.95 The water bottle trend has gone up another gear in 2017. But not all reusable water bottles are created equal – we think the best one you can buy right now is the Black+Blum Eau Water Bottle. It comes with a binchotan active charcoal filter, which has been used in Japan as a water purifier since the 17th century. Tap water never tasted so good! 2. GP PowerBank Mobile Charger - £8.99 Unfortunately, smartphone batteries can’t always be relied upon to last the day, meaning our GP PowerBanks are fast becoming a handbag essential. The FN03M mobile charger is stylish wit...

Time for a digital detox? 6 tips to help you reconnect

Image
  We all know when we’re using our smartphones too much. You put it down, only to pick it up again. There might not even be a notification on the lock screen. If that sounds like you, don’t worry... you’re not alone. Lots of people find it difficult to unplug from the world, even for a short while. In fact, the average person in the UK checks their phone every 12 minutes throughout the day! To mark the USA’s National Day of Unplugging on March 1-2, we’re inspiring our UK readers to join those on the other side of the pond by taking a ‘digital detox’. So, here are some ways you and your family (particularly if you have teens or tweens in the house!) can reconnect and enjoy some time away from your devices: 1.   List what you love Sit down with your family and write a list of all the things you enjoy doing in life – running, meditating, reading – but currently aren’t making enough time to do. Hopefully you’ll get to the end of the list and realise...
