Plan Your Next Green Adventure With Free Expert Help!
If you are wondering where you plan your first great green adventure – then look to London!
The Outdoor Adventure Show 2011 promises to be even more of an inspiration than ever before with over 60 amazing (and free) workshops in 6 different theatres, including both photography and writing seminars.
With so many experts on hand over the whole weekend and advice from people who have already been traveling ‘green’ for years – you can’t go wrong with a trip to experience it all.
Step 1:
Buying your tickets online in advance can be your first step – as they are £2 cheaper!
Not only does this mean that you are leaving more money in the jar for your trip – but you can plan ahead what seminars you want to see and if you want to book up on one of the photography courses which will have limited spaces.
Also, you can plan how many days you need to attend for – as the seminars run all day every day in 6 theatres – so you can only see the rest of the stalls and companies and stop for lunch when you aren’t taking part in a workshop or listening in to the tips fo an expert!
There is no point turning up for 1 day for the show only to find that you couldn’t get around it all in just a few hours as you were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of advice crammed into that 1 exhibition hall.
I’ve been to a few of these myself – and you can never get around everything in a day – and you certainly won’t come away with anything really helpful if you do rush about!
Step 2:
Open up a file on your computer and start jotting down your ideas. Only when you actually put them down in writing can you start to put together a real green adventure!
There are always so many things that appeal when you are at work, or watching the rain lash against your windows – but when you try to make a solid plan they don’t always fit together – such as on a round-the-world trip. I mean there are only so many times you can zig-zag about in 6 months!
What if 1 thing is totally nowhere near the others? What if you just can’t get to one place without flying? What if the things you want to see will take too long? You won’t know this until you make a rough plan.
So you need to make this plan.
Step 3:
Take it to the experts! Once you have a better idea of what you actually want – you can run it by a few people that can tell you whether it is feasible or not!
Until you have travelled a certain way or through a certain place – or more likely got something completely wrong – you don’t know how to do it properly! Experts have this experience!
They could make your simple plan a reality by adding greatly to it and save you time and money along the way – or they could let you know that your plan will never work – and offers suggestions for alternatives or how much more time and money you need to complete yours!
Step 4:
Spend some money and get things moving! By coming away from the show with something set in stone will really make your trip a reality.
Too many times you leave a show on a real ‘I’m going to do it’ high, and by the time you have sat on the train al the way home in the rain, got back to your house in the dark and fallen asleep with a cold – the trip moves onto the back-burner and another year will pass by before the show comes around again and you get all ‘inspired’ again!
