Wheeled outdoor fun

The second post of the year and what we're looking at is more unstructured enjoyment of boys in the outdoors than things like Scouting, The Boys Brigade or Woodland Folk which really the mainstay of this blog.

Here the boys have rigged together a go kart chassis from wood with smaller diameter wheels and at the rear added a rod for both steering it and for other boys to provide the power by pushing it.

The great thing is apart from the engineering skills they've used is they are undertaking exercise in the outdoors, taking in what is around them but in a way that is enjoyable which given the problems we have with boys and girls being stuck on smartphones and gaming is a very good thing.
