Quote - bike polo sounds fab, will look at that. Just wondering does doing all that cost a bomb?
No, we have built up all our kit over the years, boards,ropes,harnesses, wetsuits, rash vest, lifejackets, kayaks, boats, we had lots of secondhand stuff to start with(you can buy very cheaply and upgrade as you go, but you could buy everything new in one go for the price of a family holiday abroad,
we live next to a lot of beaches, and good climbing spots, it a life style thing, Husband and I were both adrenaline junkies long before we had children, we both spent our childhood and teens in the water, or on the hills,it's our idea of a good time,so we've always taken the children from babies,
One of the reasons we do these things is because it is so cheap, once you have the right kit it's free forever.
I end up buying a couple of wetsuits each year, keep an ear out for boards,
but we never spend very much, and the best thing about being on the water, children have nothing to hassle about,
the only money I will spend between now and october on children will be on food.
I have no idea how people afford to "entertain" children through the holidays, I couldn't do it.
