Welcome to "Bongoing with Children"
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:46 pm
That's welcome to the new "Bongoing with Children" section - you've doubtless had your initiation into the "real world" of Bongoing with Children otherwise you wouldn't be reading this! However, this section is not exclusively for those of us who currently have kids to entertain on our travels, there's bound to be loads of you with experience of travelling with children with or without a Bongo. Even if your offspring are now in their fifties and your grandchildren are adults now, it doesn't stop you sharing hints and tips and dos and don'ts. In fact even if you have never had children and avoid them like the plague, you would even be welcome to share with us those things that irritate you about little people in public (and remember, it's we parents who are to blame, never the children) and some of us might take you seriously
Anyway, we've been up and running for less than a week and everyone's bursting with things to share which is fantastic.
A couple of thoughts I have had about posting information about a location, whether it be a campsite, an attraction, a kid's playground or wherever, please put as much location detail in as possible (see the LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! post in the Campsite section). Personally I would also like to see the county mentioned as I for one will travel further from base on a miserable day to find some indoor child-friendly pastime and it would help me, and probably others, if we could perhaps enter a county name in the search facililty and see what comes up. Also, if you spot anything of particular relevance for the littlest ones ie baby swings, shallow ball pool, toddler paddling pool or whatever, that's always handy to know as "child friendly" doesn't always take into account short arms and short legs when it comes to play equipment!!!
As time allows, I shall try and make up a directory of suggested places as a factsheet.
Keep up the good work, folks, and thanks for your initial support with the suggestion for this section.
