Jamie’s top tips<br />
Be patient, remember that everything takes much more time with<br />
children. Leave time for the small things, like watching a frog, picking<br />
blueberries or playing in muddy puddles! Speed and distance don’t count,<br />
what matters is that the kids are having fun!<br />
Find small things for the kids to take responsibility for, this makes them feel<br />
important and involved. It can be helping to put up the tent, arranging the<br />
sleeping bags inside the tent, handing out the snacks or packing their own<br />
bag for the camping trip.<br />
Always remember to…<br />
• Take along enough snacks!<br />
• Add extra activities to do during the camping trip (like paddle boarding,<br />
canoeing, hiking or biking)<br />
• Choose a camping spot where the kids can safely play and have a<br />
good time<br />
• Don’t forget a dummy or a favourite stuffed animal for bedtime<br />
• Invite friends to join the camping trip, or let your older kids bring a friend<br />
• Make sure you have enough drinking water and the family stays hydrated<br />

This month sees a<br />
new home for Thule SA ... based<br />
on the incredible Stockholm flagship<br />
store, the new spot in The Neighbourhood<br />
Square in Linksfield will be all clean lines, a<br />
minimalist look and top-class Swedish design.<br />
Pop in and explore the destination-oriented<br />
vehicle accessories - think roof racks, and carriers for<br />
bicycles, kayaks and canoes. There are also hard and<br />
soft shell rooftop tents made for rugged adventures<br />
off the beaten path ... rooftop tents are great for local<br />
explorations or weekend getaways with family and<br />
friends and easily transform your vehicle into a home<br />
away from home. There’s also a collection of bags<br />
and luggage, and an Active with Kids range, which<br />
includes sport and city strollers, child bike seats and<br />
carrier backpacks and more ... everything mum<br />
and dad need to take the kids along when<br />
exploring great outdoors as a family.<br />
