When you have built up how long you can walk for, or you fancy a change of scenery head out into nature. Your walks can then be both interesting and educational.
Whether it be coastline, heathland, woodland, nature reserves or gardens. There are many places to explore nature. Lots of trees and creatures waiting to be discovered.
As you are walking along use your surroundings to distract you. Try to spot and identify birds and wildlife. Take a break next to a pond or lake and see what creatures you can spy enjoying the water’s surface.
Dusk is also an interesting time to be out in nature, as all the creatures that roam at night start to come out ready for a night of exploring and scavenging for food.
