■ To help you get the children involved in this expedition, we devised some activities that you will find in the guide. 

■  Please keep dogs on a lead as much as possible (especially on The Realm of the Great Bustards trail).

■  In spring and autumn: wear a waterproof jacket (to protect you from wind and rain), hiking or wellingtons boots - especially on rainy days, as water may be kept above ground, making the topsoil muddy and slippery.

■  In summer: wear sunscreen, a hat and protective clothing. 

■  Plan ahead, and bring sufficient food and water with you.

■  You can have a picnic anywhere, but please do not start a fire and please do not litter.

■  You can use the facilities of the Great Bustard Nest visitor centre: parking area, toilets, playground etc.
