Mum and daughter climbing outdoors together

Climbing

Climbing and bouldering, lower routes where you fall on crash pads, is massively on the rise, with indoor walls popping up all around the country. The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) exists for everyone who already loves climbing and hill walking, as well as those who are keen to discover them for the first time.

If the challenge and excitement of climbing is calling you, head down to your local wall to give it a go. Just take some comfy clothes you can easily move about in and think about whether you want to give rope climbing or bouldering a go.

Golf

Our research tells us that girls cherish alone time with their mums and feel more comfortable doing physical activity with them as they view it as their safe space.

Golf offers a great way to bring mums and daughters closer together. Clubs offer taster and beginner sessions which are of great value and make it easy to meet other people who are also starting for the first time.
