Boo and I went on an adventure today… a spooky adventure. The Halloween Horror walk on Cannock Chase. It was a great way to spend the morning. We had perfect Halloween weather as it was a little big foggy this morning!
The Hallloween Horrors walk started at 10.30am and after a short walk to where we could carve our pumpkins we headed out on our spooky walk in the woods. Boo had a fantastic time and we both got covered in mud.
We found some monsters, some spiders and some bats and we also took part in a blindfolded walk. Boo loved the monsters – she even started to pick one of their noses (which was ok as they were just masks but shhh don’t tell Boo!)
We also had to find several things in the woods to do some spooky crafting too… sycamore leaves to make ghosts, stones to make eyeballs and pine cones to make a monster. We haven’t done these crafts yet as Boo needed a nap when we got home. But we made sure got all of the things we needed as we wandered around.
At the end of the trail (we did the shorter of the two walks as Boo was getting a little tired) Boo got to dip her hand in to some goo (custard) and got a Halloween treat! We crawled through spider webs, and fell over in the mud – well that was mainly Boo)
There were lots of activities to do – if your brought your own pumpkin you could sit and carve it, and we were given a little bag with the craft instructions in and some googly eyes and some air drying clay so that we can make our monster.
There was a competition to guess how many sweets there were in a jar and Boo won! Which was very lucky – I think she is going to be kind and share her prize with me though. As it is in half term the activities were for school children as well as younger children but I think that Boo will get even more out of this next year and we will risk the longer walk! It was such a great morning we will definitely be going next year.
Oh my goodness! This is brilliant.
If I had taken Hayden here he would of had a hissy fit and demanded to go home.
Hes scared of his own shadow LOL
Boo’s a little brave one 😀

It was lots of fun, they did such a good job with everything – I am so glad Boo enjoyed it, though I was surprised by how brave she was!
What a lovely halloween activity, sounds like you both had a lot of fun. I hope she shares her sweets with you
Thanks, it was so much fun – and I think it will be even better for Boo next year. Oh yes we shared the sweets =)
Sounds like a brilliant place to take the children, wish we had something like it here
It was great, they had done such a great job with it – we are lucky it was so close to us
Oh I would have loved to have done something like this when I was Boo’s age – how cute!
It was great, Boo had such a fab time – though it was surprising how muddy we both got!
This looks like it was so much fun and well done Boo for winning the sweets! I think my my daughter would of preferred this to what we done for Halloween!
It was great, we are lucky it was so close and the perfect time to avoid naps! We will definitely be going again next year!
That sounded like loadsa fun! Congrats to Boo for winning the candy 😉 hope you got some xx
Thank you, it really was! And yes – she was lovely and shared with me hehe

Thanks, it was great fun! The longer walk is hopefully something we can do next year – makes it even more exciting.
This looks absolutely fantastic. I wish there was something like this where we live – I think Stacey and Oscar would love it 🙂

It was so much fun, and we are really lucky we have something like this so close to us.
Oh this looks like so much fun! My little boy is obsessed with Halloween and he would just adore this! Such a good idea to find bits for crafting too! Well done Boo for winning the competition too! xx
It was lots of fun! Boo really got in to the Halloween spirit which was so cute. It was great to pick up Sycamore leaves for ghosts – they looked really good =)
Looks like a fab day out. Very spooky! We have somewhere similar close to us and it’s a great Halloween activity. Lovely that Boo won the jar of sweets too 🙂
It was awesome. It really is a great Halloween activity and the weather was perfect for it. It was a nice surprise for Boo to win!
Well done on winning the competition Boo! This is such a cool thing to do with kids, I wish there was something like it near me.
She was very pleased! Though she had decided she doesn’t like flumps now! It was great fun and we are really lucky it’s so close.
Oh I love this post. It would be really amazing adventure for my kids. I like the pictures, especially the one with the spider webs and Boo pointing oh them. It capture the special moment 🙂
Thank you, I love that photo too – it was my favourite from the walk. It was such a great Halloween activity and we are really lucky we have something like this near us =)
This looks like an amazing trail to do. I am such a scaredy cat though so would be the one screaming haha
It was great, and Boo was very impressed by everything, she even stuck her hand in the ‘goo’ to find the spiders and she normally doesn’t like jelly — sorry I mean goo! hehe
This looks like such a cool Halloween trail! I’d have loved to have done something like this with my boy but there was nothing like this in our area suitable for kids his age.
It really was fantastic and it was a bargain too. It’s a shame you have nothing like this local to you =(
