Thank you to everyone who has worked with us, explored with us, volunteered with us and loved what we are doing. Here’s to a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope to see you in 2016!
Back in September we launched our autumn competition for your chance to win a kelly kettle, the perfect way to make a hot drink whilst enjoying the autumn outdoors.
We asked you to tell us how you get more out of autumn.
The winner was Matt Smith who told us on Twitter
“I love autumn because it adds a bite to the #outside experience.”
He also shared a brilliant autumnal picture with us and is now the proud owner of a 1.75 pint Kelly Kettle.
