family adventure talksWe are really excited to announce a series of inspirational travel talks which will take place at the Cotswold Outdoor Store at Darts Farm Shopping Village in Topsham, near Exeter, over the autumn, winter and spring of 2010-11. The STC, specialists in family adventure holidays, has teamed up with the kit experts at Cotswold Outdoor, Exeter's Travel Health Consultancy who specialise in travel vaccinations and health advice, and Darts Farm to bring a little bit of adventure to Devon! _

Who are the talks aimed at?

The talks will appeal to any family interested in fun, eye opening, enriching and utterly memorable family holidays.† They are designed to inspire, as well as provide practical advice and reassurance about how to plan and arrange more unusual holiday experiences with your children. You don't need to be super fit or be a family of adrenalin junkies to appreciate seeing the world in a different way.† There is no need to "rough it" either. Family adventures are more about having the desire to discover the people, culture, scenery and wildlife of your destination, spend quality time together, and share in the memories. _
