What happens to adventure when you have kids — and suddenly nothing goes as planned?
Award-winning adventurer Anna McNuff is back with a second collection of Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown-Ups and this time, it's complicated.
Adventure now comes with children, curveballs, and considerably less sleep.
Join Anna for a collection of inspiring stories including:
• Paradise Prison: What happens when your dream Thai adventure starts with an accidental quarantine and a man in camel-coloured Speedos?
• An Odyssey En Vélo: A 150-mile family cycling journey through France involving a record-breaking heatwave, one-too-many croissants, and a heavy-duty bike named The Beast.
• The Streets Are Alive!: A sun-baked run through the vibrant streets of Cabo Verde — racing against the clock of twin toddlers’ lunchtime naps.
• Let's Go Sleep on A Mountain!: A mum-escape to the summit of Wales' Sugar Loaf, fuelled by Prosecco and Ferrero Rocher.
• All Aboard!: The art of running 16 miles, pushing three kids in buggies.
There are steam trains and playgrounds. Mozzarella and mountains. Friendship and freedom. And, of course, a naked sea swim no one saw coming.
Told with warmth, humour and honesty, these are tales to keep your adventurous spirit burning — through parenthood, uncertainty, and plans that gloriously unravel.
Perfect for parents, dreamers, and anyone who feels the quiet tug to do something brave again.
♥ Because grown-ups (still) need bedtime stories too. ♥
