Who’s still feeling the after-effects of the indulgence of Christmas? If so, a good walk is the perfect antidote.
Being outdoors and connecting with nature can boost your mood, reduce your stress and anxiety levels and, of course, improve your physical health. Getting out for a walk can also boost your energy levels and give you a sense of calm…as well as an important break from screen time!
If you want to explore more of Britain’s countryside on foot and need some inspiration, Vespucci Adventures can help. Created to inspire a new generation of hikers, walkers and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the UK countryside, they’ve put together over 30 pre-planned hiking packs covering everything from short strolls around London to day hikes in the Peak District. Curated for Vespucci Adventures by local experts, each Signature Hiking Pack costs £20 and includes a map and guide book, which also features places to grab something to eat or drink en route.
Vespucci Adventures also offers hiking collections, each including maps and guides for four different routes, presented in a bespoke gift box with a personalised card.
If you’re a keen hiker – or you’re looking for a gift for someone who is – head over to Instagram and enter my giveaway! I’ve teamed up with Vespucci Adventures to give away a copy of their Peaks Collection to one lucky winner: a set of four hikes that includes both Edale and Haversage in the Peak District, the Brecon Beacons, and Malvern.
The giveaway ends at midday on Monday, January 22nd – click through to the Instagram post below, or here! Good luck!
