Leave it open or close it? Even when you're trying Leave it open or close it? Even when you're trying to do the right thing, gate etiquette can be confusing. Have you seen the new #countrysidecode? It's really helpful. Leave the gate as you found it. Another really important gate thing - make sure your parking doesn't stop our hard-working farmers getting into their fields.

I've been exploring my local copse properly for a I've been exploring my local copse properly for a whole year now. I feel like we are old friends. I know where the hazels, sweet chestnuts and blackthorns are, and I've been quietly looking after a secret patch of ransoms. This tiny patch of urban woodland is bursting with bright spring green at the moment, and still throwing up some surprises. Bluebell time soon! My heart goes out to people who are losing their precious places to projects like HS2. It's definitely time for a rethink. #GetOutside #woodland #urbangreenspace #trees #springtime #exploremore #lovewhereyoulive
Walking with children can be a mixed blessing. One Walking with children can be a mixed blessing. One way to keep them interested is to get them involved in the navigation. I've been working on some child-friendly maps for my walking routes around Torbay. Great fun and very satisfying. Each route also has instructions, an OS Maps route to follow on your phone, family fun activity suggestions, and a walking game. If those don't work, I've also told you where the nearest cafe is!! Check them out on my website (link in bio). #GetOutside #tourism #walking #familyoutdoors #walkingwithkids #osmaps #mapreading #exploremore

Luckily I have some lovely swimming friends. One of whom took pity on me, and dropped a couple of more sensible swimming caps off this afternoon. One even has Latin on it... E Frigore Robur. From the cold comes support. How apt! #GetOutside #outdoorswimming #swimmingcap #retro #redhat
Campfires and barbecues. Fabulous for gardens and Campfires and barbecues. Fabulous for gardens and many campsites but not on our hills or in our forests please.
