I loved the insight into each of the adventures taken, but often, the type of adventure described is not my ideal time most times. I have noted down around 5 different ideas for myself in the future, so I have them to look forward to but not necessarily at the places they are described to be at.

• Nature Journalling at Ashridge Estate
• Creating Land Art on Dunwich Heath Beach
• Autumn Foraging in the Weir Garden
• Sketchbook Stroll in Dovedale
• Fossil Hunting at Boggle Hole

Most of these are art based or something that I am interested in that relates to nature.

Very calming and grounding description of the kind of things I’d like to spend my time doing if I had no existing commitments that make this impossible :)
