Caravan-loving families could be in with a chance of winning a prestigious gong that is to be handed out for the second consecutive year.
Chessington World of Adventures is searching for Britain’s Most Adventurous Family 2011 after crowning the Wilsons as its 2010 winners due to their globe-trotting backpacking antics.
Families are being asked to film their adventurous behaviour and send it in to the theme park to prove why they should be crowned champions.
The aim of the contest is to help encourage Brits to live a more active lifestyle, which will help the next generation develop fully, according to clinical psychologist Linda Blair.
“Adventure is an important part of child development. It increases self-confidence, activates problem-solving skills and encourages children to be creative by finding new ways to meet challenges,” she said.
The expert added that adults also need adventure to alleviate stress and boost creativity.
Chessington World of Adventures is located near Epsom, south-east of central London
