Join the GetOutside Challenge!

Getting outside every day during winters will do wonders for our physical and mental wellbeing. Wrap up warm and explore from your doorstep with these ideas from the free GetOutside Challenge Calendar.

Make time to find the path less trodden

The new ‘lockdown’ lifestyle

What has lockdown taught you and what new habits will become the norm? Georgie Duckworth from GoWildGoWest explores the top 5 things she's learnt from isolation and why we should take the good experiences with us into the future.

Kids adventure books

In her day job at the YHA, GetOutside Champion Anita Kerwin-Nye sees first-hand the impact of residentials and outdoor learning in National Parks and awe-inspiring spaces. While travel is still limited, how can we encourage children to think about the adventures ahead of them?

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.

Geography Fieldwork at home

​For many students up and down the country, this school term would have included a geography field trip. Chris Webster, GetOutside Champion and owner of the Geography Fieldwork Academy, explains how just because we can’t travel currently, doesn’t mean we can’t investigate the world around us.

Map art for beginners

Why not have some daily GetOutside fun and create your own map art? GetOutside Champion duo TwoBlondes show us how.

GetOutside Magazine

Welcome to the GetOutside Magazine. Turn every journey from your doorstep into an adventure with inspiring stories, tips, ideas and advice to make the most of your time outside.

Treasure hunt for kids

Treasure hunts fill us with nostalgia of happy days, dressed up in pirate hats, exploring the nooks and crannies of our grandparent’s garden. A treasure hunt is a great way to keep the kids entertained in the garden or around your local area.

GetOutside with great outdoor games

Rain or shine, round up your friends and family and challenge them to an outdoor game. Whether you’re looking for something for the summer BBQ, a picnic in the park, or a day out to the countryside — we’ve got you covered.
