RE: Shropshire
If you are after a way of encouraging the kids to walk, or fancy a chance to Geo-cache (a satellite linked treasure hunt), visit the Shropshire hill centre, at the link above, and look under Events and Activities. For £10 (or it was when I used it last!) you can rent a GPS unit and go on a themed treasure hunt. The kids love using it to guide them to the treasure trove, where they can take some treasure (keyring, souvenir coins etc.) and leave some (don't leave food!) for the next people to find it. The themed walks have information regarding the site you are at, and you can leave a message in the log book! We did the Iron Age walk, and had a picnic in the remains of an iron age fort! There tend to be three troves on each themed walk, with each walk lasting about 4-5 hours in total. A good day out, with full instructions included.
