You may have noticed a new badge on my sidebar, I am really excited to have been invited to be an ambassador for a brand new festival for 2015, GeronimoGeronimo will make its debut over the May Bank Holiday weekend (Sat 23 – Mon 25 May) a long weekend of organised mayhem just down to the road from me at Tatton Park in Cheshire. 

Making the most of the beautiful woodlands at Tatton Park, the Adrenaline Zone will challenge even the bravest adventurers with a high ropes course, tree climbing, den making and a thrilling zip line that will reach speeds of up to 60KPH!

For those who like things a little less fast paced there’s also plenty of storytelling and the chance to picnic with characters from Alice in Wonderland.
