Win a family camping adventure with Ben Fogle

Wildlife presenter and adventurer Ben Fogle is on a mission to get children across the UK to re-engage with nature and their natural habitat. Ben has teamed up with the Eden TV channel to encourage as many youngsters as possible to be inspired and educated about British wildlife. As part of the campaign, Eden channel is offering five families a chance to win a place at exclusive, money-can't-buy experience called Base Camp Eden. The adventure will take place over the weekend of 25 and 26 of September at a top-secret location in the Forest of Dean. It includes the chance for youngsters to experience a luxury night of camping under the stars, campfire talks with Ben and woodland walks with qualified naturalists and experts.
