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

Having three children, I am particularly interested in getting outside with my family. I aim to make every day an adventure, especially with my children, husband, dogs and friends. From exploring new cities to camping with the dogs, we like an adventure.

We live near the sea and forest and explore every day. I love wild swimming and stand-up paddleboarding. I have recently started to explore multi-day paddleboarding and camping trips, and am very keen to explore new places to SUP. I absolutely love sunrises, sunsets and stargazing.

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

Natasha Sone’s Favourite Area- Rendlesham Forest

I live right near this forest and I love wandering among the trees with my family and dogs. It has lots to occupy the children, such as play areas, and lots of different trails to follow to explore. The UFO trail is a good one, it is three miles long and takes you through forest, heathlands and wetlands, as well as some of the areas connected to the UFO sightings in December 1980.

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

My favourite bit of kit is my dryrobe® Long Sleeve Outdoor Robe. I do a lot of watersports and it is invaluable for keeping me warm after an activity. The windproof and waterproof shell is great for sheltering in and getting changed underneath after a swim!
