The Guardian is launching an exciting competition for families who have embarked on memorable adventures across Europe. If you have a story about stepping outside your comfort zone and trying something new together, this is your chance to share it and win a fantastic prize.
What Constitutes a Family Adventure?
We are looking for tips about unforgettable family trips where you embraced new experiences. This could include a family backpacking expedition, completing a long-distance hike, bike trail, or canoe route. Other qualifying adventures might involve wild camping, youth hostelling, or trying out a completely new activity that brought your family closer together.
