Walking

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons

How do you go about inspiring those above you? For OS GetOutside Champion Jessie Leong, her journey took her surprisingly close to home by encouraging her Dad – a typical ‘Asian Tiger’ father who had never set foot in the mountains – to try out an adventure in Snowdonia National Park.

GetOutside without leaving a trace

You can’t beat getting outside in the British countryside. But it's vital that we leave no trace when we're enjoying the great outdoors. Let's make sure that generations to come can enjoy the countryside just as we do.

Make time to find the path less trodden

The world has taken us on a road less travelled in recent months. But now we're able to make more time to enjoy the outdoors, we want to help you do this safely, away from crowds, by finding the path less trodden.

Explore from your door

How well do you know your local area? You may be surprised by how many paths and greenspaces are waiting for you to find! Now's the time to explore from your door, on foot or by bike, and discover the lesser-known paths and trails. We asked our GetOutside Champions how they’ve been exploring their local area and what they’ve enjoyed the most.

Keeping your dog entertained at home

It's not just us confined to our houses at the moment, our furry friends are to! GetOutside Champion and dog owner, Tracy Purnell, tells us how she's keeping her dogs entertained whilst our time outside is restricted.

GetOutside: Stay Safe

​Over 50 national organisations in the outdoor recreation industry have come together to keep you connected with the outdoors and engaged with our natural environments whilst we all continue to either self-isolate or exercise outside within guidelines. ​As a collective, we hope to educate, entertain, inspire the nation, sharing in your challenges and achievements to help keep everyone both mentally and physically positive.

Step up to the challenge

On Thursday 9 April, hundreds of you bought the mountains into your homes. We teamed up with Olympic athlete, Iwan Thomas and over 50 outdoor brands to set a new record for the most people stepping at once.

OS GetOutside Champions

Like you, our new team of OS GetOutside Champions have changed how they’re spending time outside at the moment. Follow us on social media where we’ll be sharing how they’re handling the changes to spending time outside, whilst making the most out of their outdoor spaces and ensuring their communities are safe.
