Nicola, Pete, Lola and Nell want to travel the world with a difference. We hope to get a taste of loads of countries without adding to climate change (with needless emissions from aeroplanes) or having to waste hours of holiday time in airport terminals. We hope our adventures inspire you to take a Grand Tour of your neighbourhood.
From Lola, 8: I was surprised when Mummy said that I was going around the world – next month. I thought we wouldn’t do it because Mummy worries about climate change and that might mean we’d go on a plane. I would like to go around the world though especially to the north pole and see polar bears. But I was even more surprised when she told me were going around the world in Britain! I think we are going to Canada, New Zealand, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Himalayas and Germany via the overnight train to Scotland!
From Nell, 6: I was very surprised as well but I really wanted to go to Scotland. I thought we would miss our stop on the night train but Mummy said our station is the last one. I can only remember that we are going to Scotland and the Lake District so where Lola thinks we are going is a real puzzle!

Dear Lola and Nell,
I'm so sorry to hear about the trees, but what a great thing you did - handing out flyers and pitching your tent to make sure everyone knew what was happening. I know it's only three months more that you will be able to enjoy your walk to school and back, but My Dad says it doesn't matter what happens in the end. What really matters is that you tried your best and you stuck up for what you believed in.
I live in Australia. Australia is an incredible place. It's full of the most bizarre wildlife, with most species yet to be unidentified. Unfortunately, I did get here by plane. Don't tell your Mum. I suspect she already knows. Anyway, I totally commend the both of you for travelling around the world in Britain. Now that I'm back home, I'm seeing Australia with a new set of eyes. Just as if I was a tourist in my own country.
Have a fun trip to Scotland. Eat some shortbread for me.
