Risk Assess Outdoor Activities
CfE Es and Os HWB 1-16a / HWB 2-16a
Plan an adventurous activity outdoors – to be done in your garden or while on a local walk. If your are going to stay in your garden it might be possible to set up a tent, build a den or (with an adult) light a stove/fire.
Plan and prepare for your activities. This might mean gathering or making equipment, writing shopping lists and making a list of tasks.
A risk assessment -that is, a plan which helps identify possible hazards or problems – should be part of your plan. For example, is it possible that a den would fall down and hurt someone? Work out how to prevent possible hazards or problems becoming things that actually happen.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT FIRES WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION
For some safety guidance and for information on minimising our impact on the environments read the posters below.
Campfire Food
Food & Health HWB 1-30b and HWB 1-33a, HWN 2-33a
If you have your own garden, follow the recipe from the National Trust and bake your own break over a campfire. Food always tastes better when you eat outdoors, even better when you make it yourself!
