B & L
We’re a small mum and daughter family based in South Wales. At the start of 2025, when B was 9, we set out on a year of outdoorsy adventures. L set up this website to document what we did. We hope other families will find it helpful.
HOW WE ENDED UP HERE…
We’re not really an outdoorsy family… or we weren’t anyway. L grew up in the city and never felt playing outdoors was something she could do. When B came along, and then covid, we started trying to get outside more. They were ALWAYS the best days, for both of us. But we weren’t very sporty and we didn’t know many things to do.
We decided to do the 365 day nature play challenge to find more stuff. Because if we HAD to go outside every day we’d have to, and we have. At the end of December 2025 we’ll have a library of 365 different things we can do outside. Most are free and easy to access. Some you have to pay for (L found those easier when she was starting out and working full time). Some you need to be by the sea, some by the mountains, some in the woods but there should be enough that anyone can find something they can do wherever they are, right now, TODAY!
We hope you enjoy reading our challenges. We’d really like to know what you think of them and if there’s anything we’ve missed.
