I have such a thing that you can have. It is about 10 years old has: slide(3m)
central tower, with 'fenced in' bit you could use as a sandpit
monkey bars,
cargo net,
swing set with 2 swings and trapeze.

It's in south Manchester is about 9m along the long axis and 5 m on the short axis. It would fit in a Transit with disassembly and it's yours for a decent bottle of port (tawny LBV or better so about a tenner) if you collect. My kids are 10 and 13 and have outgrown it. made of Canadian pine and surprisingly rot resistant.

If any of that sounds of interest I'll do you some pics. Most of the fittings are now stainless steel so comes apart relatively easily too.

All the jolliest

Scatter the ground with used needles, dog poo and angry/hungry vermin. Then place sweets at the other end of the garden. Then, release the kids.

Hmmm, I may have confused adventures with reckless. You will be £1495 up which you can spend on bike stuff.

Some massive stuff on Costco. They even install it. Obviously not handmade though.

Have a little look through this - something more 'open ended' and encouraging of free play would be better than just swings and slides. I know this is written for schools, but you will get the drift... As an example, we (grounds for learning) can put in 10m x 6m sandpit for £1500...

Get a working derrick on that boat like the one at Brodick Castle! (Which might be rotted away by now) Wasted on children obviously. "jib up winch out!"

Tubs

IT's first past the post and based on the responses so far you don't need to be that fleet of foot!

If it's of interest please do let me know and I'll whisk some piccies off to you. Could really do with getting it out the garden and would prefer not to reduce it to firewood.

Cheers

Paul
