Mission Explore was featured in The Guardian G2 kids section yesterday, 5 August under the headline How to be an Explorer. And they are asking any of you kids out there to send photos in from your adventures to g2kids@guardian.co.uk – so get out there and show them what guerilla geography is all about.

The wonderfully inventive and incorrigibly curious crew at The Geography Collective have launched a new blog to track stories in the media about risk aversion. Our recently published book: Mission:Explore, written by The Geography Collective and illustrated by Tom Morgan-Jones is the purest antidote known to man*(kind) and beast for the cotton wool culture that our children are being enveloped in.

Do please go and take a look at their blog: http://thegeographycollective.wordpress.com/ as well as the book, and please tell your friends.

* for man please also read woman, boy, girl, child, etc. etc

The intrepid folk at Walkit.com have kindly given us a great plug for Mission Explore. Why not walk over that way and see what they say on their site.
