Nature Adventure

Join Lizzie Rice, her brother Geordie, and their cousin Wee Davey on a magical weekend filled with discovery, laughter, and the wonders of nature! In their seaside town of Largs, spring’s arrival brings a special school assignment: explore the outdoors, collect treasures, and write about their findings. What starts as a simple nature trail soon leads to unforgettable adventures in the enchanting Glen, a hidden haven of wildflowers, sparkling streams, and woodland creatures.

This is an incredible story of adventure, human ingenuity, persistence, and resilience that shows firsthand what it is to adventure as a woman in the most dangerous of circumstance, what it is to be truly alone in the wild, and why someone would challenge themselves with an expedition others would call crazy. For Marquis, her story is about freedom, being alive and wild by nature.
