Visit a wind farm
Just think - next bank holiday weekend this could be you, running gaily through a field of wind turbines with a balloon in hand or a happy child on your shoulders. Frivolous field antics aside, 27-28th August is Embrace the Revolution's Wind Weekend, a chance to visit working wind farms across the UK and learn a bit about green power. As well as the chance to check out the turbines up close, there'll be plenty of kid-friendly activities including kite-flying and windmill-painting. Most of the farms are in Wales, Scotland, NW England, Norfolk and N.Ireland, but read the full list here. Embrace the Revolution recommends you share a lift using LiftShare, a site that's very similar to the Freewheelers site I've blathered about before.
