Everyday Adventures #21 Challenge myself through June to spend more time up close with nature.

Everyday Adventures #21

A quick 5 minute newsletter full of outdoor adventure!

Despite only getting back from the Lake District yesterday, I'd planned to turn right back around and head to the Peak District for the weekend.

I fortunately weather warnings and a timid dog that is scared of wind have put an end to that plan. Instead today will be filled with editing photos.

A Wild Challenge Trying to spend more time in nature throughout June.

Throughout June I challenged myself to spend some time everyday out in nature. It didn’t go quite to plan though.

I’ve wrapped up how the month went with some reflections on whether the challenge worked out or not.

Late night dog walks.

Any reason to get out on the bike is a good reason!

An app like PlantNet could help. I've been trying to identify different trees on my dog walk to see if I can learn to spot them naturally.

Nice spots! Always good to stop and take it all in rather than just riding through as fast as you can 👍

Sitting in the beer garden for 10 minutes yesterday did this to me 😂

Favourite thing about photography for me! It's an excuse to leave the house sometimes.

Got back in the water today for a dip. Felt bliss after the heatwave we’ve been having and a great start to our Sunday. Even got a fleeting glimpse of the resident otter! 🦦

Watching the sunset of the Irish Sea last night. Adventure brings with it solitude, as I stood by myself with no one for company other than some grazing sheep.

Benn finding time to get outside with a new running buddy!

Enjoy 🚴

I always worry about putting too much weight on the front tyre. How does it ride?

Thoroughly enjoying plotting my evening walks through this field at the moment with its sea of buttercups

Was it a route you already knew? I want to do more gravel riding but just used to plotting points on Komoot.

It's certainly an interesting challenge! I get sore on my gravel bike let alone a BMX

What do you use to plan your gravel routes?
