Day 8 : Let's go fly a kite . . .

If flying a kite isn't good enough reason to get outside in itself then you can make your very own kite with this hands on kite making workshop at the MShed on Wednesday the 8th of Aug from 2pm. FREE and suitable for children age 4 and above. For further details click here.
Whilst you are there make sure you don't miss the Urban Sports Exhibition at the MShed - you won't look at Bristol in the same way after seeing how urban sports, such as parkour, take on the cityscape.
If you want to try it out for yourself here's a handy little introduction to parkour (and where to find woods to train in) from visitwoods.org.uk
