Things to consider when planning your Micro Adventure. 

The terrain. Flat paths are the very best for scooting,graveled tracks can prove troublesome. Ensure that on your adventure you consider how easy it will be to get from a to b so that everyone will finish the route smiling.

Local wildlife, if you’re keen on easily spotting some then the obvious choice is to choose a route that’s rural. If you’re on holiday or new to the area a quick google search will help you with some top tips and advice on local conservation areas. Not always will you have to venture into the country as urban areas can also prove to be homes to an abundance of nature.

If you’re not planning on packing a picnic, ensure that you factor somewhere to stop to grab a snack for your little explorer who will no doubt be subject to exercise-induced hunger pangs.

Urban scoots can be just as exciting and a journey through the woods. Plan a scooter route to the local park, play area or skate park will increase the amount of fun on the adventure and will feel more rewarding than jumping in the car. Alternatively a quick scoot to the river or pond to feed the ducks will delight the youngest of explorers in your party.

Heading to an open space where children can scoot from you safely means you can promote independence whilst keeping an eye on the kids as they’re scooting.

If you’re travelling further afield and reliant on the car, suss out car parking spaces along the route so you can choose the distance that suits you and your child.
