Bla Bheinn by Adrian Manning

Scotland

We used one of Adrians Mannings' earlier Isle of Skye photos a couple of months ago, but this glorious summer shot was too good to pass up. Slat Bheinn, An Stac, Bla Bheinn, Clach Glas and Sgurr Nan Each from Torrin, Isle of Skye.

This photo has captured one of those brilliant clear summer days - you can almost feel the cool breeze coming from Loch Slapin to the left. There's great contrast between the boat in the foreground and the distant peaks.

A run with a twist - hunting posts in Hampstead Heath

A run with a twist - hunting posts in Hampstead Heath

I really like going for muddy trail runs with the dog (much better than pounding the pavement), and like discovering new outdoor areas. Add a treasure-hunt style challenge and voilà, you’re orienteering. You don’t need any technical kit, it’s very affordable and there are events held most weekends in rural and urban areas, as well as dozens of fixed courses in forests and parks across Britain that are FREE. It’s one of the most fun ways to get outside for a few hours.
The Lawley Circular Hike

The Lawley Circular Hike

The Lawley is part of the Shropshire Hills range in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Lawley is one of the smaller hills, standing next to its big brother, Caer Caradoc. It's an interesting walk, as along the ridge there are remains of an ancient settlement and hill fort.
