Outside Afoot
I’m taking a hike. I’m hitting the trail. I’m heading out. What do you feel when you hear any of these comments? A desire to pull on your hiking boots? A wish to pack up your rucksack and head out? A thrilling tingle up the spine and a sense of adventure? Me, too.
So what’s your fancy, then? How about a stroll through the woods. Or a brisk march along a windy beach. Perhaps a scramble up a rocky crag, or a ’shoe through powdery, deep snow. Or maybe you’re a wildlife watcher and like to move out in see your favorite critters. You’ve all come to the right place. Just select the titles below which interest you. Check back often as we publish more articles about heading outside afoot.
