gnotknormal asked:
My mum wants the whole family to go on a day trip. We live in England if that's relevant. We considered the seaside or camping but nobody is particularly keen. Some of us have mobility issues so that also limits things. Any suggestions for a good family day out?

Well, I have a lot of experience with this particular kind of question, so here is a list of things that I have previously enjoyed, including:
- A walk on the beach – probably the most “family” of activities I can name
- Walking in the woods (often just by a trail on a long walk with a backpack full of things, or something) – not quite as “family” of activities per se, but just as good because of how good those kinds of landscapes are
- Taking a boat out on some calm lake or river, to sit on the water and admire the scenery
- Going rock-climbing/caving (for young, adventurous kids, not everyone)
- Riding bikes (I used to have a bike, which I never used much, because I hated riding it)
- Going shopping (depending on where you live this may be easier or more pleasant than a walk)
- Making things out of clay, paper mache, etc.
- Catching butterflies (in a field, or in a garden)
If any of these sounds fun to you, you should totally go. I don’t know the exact locations for any of them, but some of the places that interest me are:
- the beach in Bermuda, for the scenery, the wind, and, of course, the water (not a day trip exactly, but we went to see the turtles swim there – this was years ago, I want to say 10 years, which makes it even better!)
- the town I grew up in, in Virginia (which is, like, five minutes away from my house if you head north through Virginia on the Interstate)
- the Appalachian Trail – lots of cool things on the Appalachian Trail (the Appalachian Trail Bus picks you up and brings you back, or you can just hike it on your own, which is probably my personal favorite method)
