Climb a tree is the No.1 adventure on our list of 50 things to do before you’re 11 ¾, so if you're doing them in order then it'll be the first one you do.
Climbing can be tricky, so this is all about having a go - it doesn't matter how high you can go, as long as you're enjoying yourself, that's the main thing.
What you need:
- A tree with big strong branches that you can reach fom the groud
- Trainers or boots
Top tips:
- Keep three parts of your limbs (two legs and an arm, or two arms and a leg) on the tree at all times!
- Don't forget to check that it's dry before you climb as wet trees are really slippery.
- Good trees for climbing have broad trunks - ones that are thinner than your legs will probably be too little for proper climbing and won't be as much fun!
- Check out the view when you've climbed a little way and imagine you're a bird sitting on the branch - you're seeing what they see!
