Stargazing

Stargazing is an incredible way to experience the beauty of our world and to appreciate the size of the planet we inhabit.  If it's a warm evening why not grab a blanket, a hot chocolate and get outside with a friend (don't forget the rule of 6!) to discover the power of looking at the vastness of the night sky and stars.  The National Trust say the longer you look up, the more stars you'll discover.  They also suggest that as you look up you take time to enjoy the moment and think about how it makes you feel.  

Ideas from the National Trust 50 things to do before you're 11 list.

You don't have to be under 11 to do these - we think they're good for any age!

Go Cloud Watching: On a warm day, find a patch of grass, lie back and watch the clouds go by.  With a little imagination you can create whole worlds from the shapes you see in the clouds.  

Go swimming in the sea: Swimming in the sea is one of those brilliant experiences. It is very different from swimming in a pool, and you'll need to be very careful of currents and tides. But it's wild fun you'll never forget.

Watch the sunset: It might be the end of the day but there’s still plenty to see in nature. Before you go to bed, find a comfortable spot to watch the sky turn orange and red as the sun disappears beyond the horizon.

Go barefoot: Going barefoot is the perfect activity to get mucky, explore the outdoors, and make a lasting connection with nature. So, peel off your socks and let your bare toes wiggle free. Clamber up beach dunes and feel the warm sand on your soles, dance on soft wet grass in your garden, or listen to the squelchy loveliness of wet mud squishing under your feet. Don't forget to take a towel for afterwards, and keep your eyes open for glass or other things that might poke your feet.

Forage for wild food: Foraging is a hobby that involves searching for and eating plants, herbs and fruit. People have been foraging since the dawn of time and it’s time for you to dip your hand into the hedgerows, trees and bushes to see what  treats you can discover. Delicious snacks await you! You can find wild food almost anywhere in nature. When you’re out in the countryside, keep your eyes peeled for snacks in the trees, in the hedgerows and also on the ground. Bushes might be full of blackberries. Are there any fruit trees with apples, plums or pears waiting to be picked? Maybe there’s sweet-smelling wild garlic underfoot? See what you can find.

Enjoy a picnic: Why stay at home for lunch when you can eat in the wild? Pack a picnic next time you go on an adventure and enjoy tucking into your sandwiches surrounded by nature. Remember to take your rubbish and recycling home with you and dispose of as appropriate.

Skim a stone: Have you ever stood at the glittering water’s edge and watched a stone skip across the surface?  t’s a tricky skill to master, but if you’ve got a steady arm and a keen eye, you’ll soon learn how to skim a stone.
