The Amazon's Travel Bug

The Swallows and Amazons flags This Travel Bug is based on the “Swallows and Amazons” series of Arthur Ransome’s children’s books.
This and The Swallow TB want to tour round in the hope of completing tasks based on places, activities and themes in the Arthur Ransome books we loved as children (and still do!). We want you and the TB to experience as many of these activities as you can and we want pictures to prove it! We will also add pictures of our own adventures.
