May Cheung

Meet May Cheung, a nature lover from the South east of England who loves to explore and inspire others to get outside into nature

Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?

I often escape the suburbs of Surrey and the bustle of London to explore and capture the natural
beauty of UK. Whether it be the local woods, National Trust sites, coastal road trips or mountain
summits, the great outdoors is my happy place. It’s the simple things like, fresh air, wildflowers,
morning mist, birds tweeting, sunsets, and moon rises that make me smile and I love sharing and
showcasing our beautiful landscapes, hoping to inspire others to get outside, enjoy the views and
all the health benefits from being outdoors!

What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?

May Cheung’s Favourite Walking Route – Seven Sisters

One of my favourite routes is the Seven Sisters in spring, with stunningly beautiful views along the
cliff tops, there’s coastlines, lighthouses, cows grazing, springtime lambs, wild flowers blossoming,
and if the clouds lift away, we might just be lucky enough to watch the sun below the horizon, whilst
enjoying an ice cream at the beach!

What’s your fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?

A compass, a paper map together with the OS Maps App has to be my favourite and must have
pieces of ‘kit’, whilst the app is brilliant, providing a live tracked GPS location on the route, if phone
battery needs to be preserved, a paper map with compass is always a necessary back up!
