Our travel guides

These guides will allow you to discover some of the travels that our ducks have been on. You can get inspired by them, copy them or pick and mix, whatever takes your fancy !

Meet the ducks

We have 6 ducks at Up The Hills And Far Away: Mummy Duck (Laura) and her 5 ducklings. Each duck has a prefered style of traveling, which will be helpful to decide which trip is for you. Each guide will be written by a separate duck to help you know what style of travel it will follow. Of course you can choose any style you want, travel style is fluid and you do not have to stay with a single one. You can also adapt these guides to a style that matches your preferences better. So let’s get quacking and meet the ducks!

Laura
