Instagram post 2225719396735461467_4099340362 Going to the mountains is going home ~ John Muir My absolute favourite place is anywhere with big mountain views! We couldn't hang about on the hills at the weekend because of the weather, but we're loving that it's not getting dark till past 5pm now! And we're getting pretty excited for lazy summer days on the hills! What about you? Any summer hikes planned? #anoutdoorsfamily #kidsoutside #familiesoutside #tinybigadventure #raisethemoutdoors #bornwildproject #awanderfulchildhood #childhoodunplugged #choosemountains #hikingwithbaby #mountainviews #exploremore #neverstopexploring #adventurescotland #activefamilies
Instagram post 2224653105378618813_4099340362 We found the perfect spot for our lunch yesterday, what a view! That's hill no.2 for my 40 hill challenge. A corbett near Glenshee called Creag nan Gabhar, just over 7km with 430m ascent. We found snow for our eldest to have a sledge and saw mountain hares, grouse and deer which gave baby the giggles! And did I mention that views 😍 #anoutdoorsfamily #corbettbagging #hikingfamily #MyTiso #OutAndAboutScotland #tinybigadventure #raisethemoutdoors #braveandfreeadventures #exploremore #familyadventures #outdoorfamilies #optoutside #hikingwithbaby #bornwildproject #borntobeadventurous #hikingkids #childhoodunplugged #nature #uk_0utdoors #ukhikers #adventureisforeveryone #wewalkaround #walkinguk #walkhighlands #lovewherewelive

Instagram post 2214840027577259020_4099340362 Our first hill of the year yesterday (and first of my 40 hill challenge) and we absolutely loved it! We had such a giggle considering we've not done any serious hiking in ages. It was only a 3hr hike so we had plenty of time for exploration and sooo much puddle jumping! #anoutdoorsfamily #adventureisbettertogether #optoutside #corbettbagging #hikingfamily #explorescotland #neverstopexploring #OutAndAboutScotland #ukhikers #familyadventures #braveandfreeadventures #tinybigadventure #raisethemoutdoors #bornwildproject #1000hoursoutside
Instagram post 2213377732762304728_4099340362 It was definitely a day that screamed out for a trip to the beach! It may have been freezing but our youngest loved splashing about and collecting rocks and shells. Don't we all? 😉🤣 #anoutdoorsfamily #kidsoutside #outandaboutscotland #exploremore #familyadventures #outfamcommunity #makememories #beaches #tinybigadventure #raisethemoutdoors #braveandfreeadventures #1000hoursoutside
Instagram post 2211970203410786456_4099340362 10 years ago we were hiking the Dientes de Navarino trek in Tierra del Fuego. It is without a doubt, STILL one of the toughest challenges I've done! . This year, I've set my sights on a few more challenges to celebrate my 40th too. . Challenge 1; Take part in the @1000hoursoutside challenge, resetting the balance between outdoor time and screen time. There’s a tracker sheet you can print off, with circles to colour, each one marking an hour outside. Does it sound daunting? 1000 hours outside? Yes! Do we think we can do it? We’re game to give it a try! And it might just help me on my way to my second challenge… Challenge 2; run /walk 40km each week. This is my main challenge which sounds a bit out of reach at the minute. I used to run on the treadmill before having baby, but issues with my hip stopped that and made walking incredibly painful. Physiotherapy has helped, but I've still got A LOT of weight to lose... Challenge 3; 40 hills before the end of the year. That's it! I'm looking forward to this challenge and seeing as it's something we enjoy as a family, there'll be a few wild camps in the mix too 😏 You can read more over on the blog and about our other upcoming celebrations too (link in bio). Have you made any plans for this year? #anoutdoorsfamily #fitat40 #optoutside #exploremore

Instagram post 2210401989728010025_4099340362 Wide open spaces under never ending skies make our top 9 for 2019 - it's been a fun year and we've been to some pretty awesome places. It's not always been straight forward (as getting out with kids can sometimes be...🙈) but we're feeling incredibly lucky to have had the adventures we've had!! Roll on next year! Hope you've all had a fun 2019! What's been your favourite adventure? And anything lined up for next year? #sharedparentalleave #newzealand #travellingwithbaby #explorescotland #anoutdoorsfamily #optoutside #hikingwithbaby #familythathikes #hikingkids #childhoodunplugged #hiketheworld #adventureisbettertogether #makememories #braveandfreeadventures #munrobagging #wildcampingwithkids #tinybigadventure #raisethemoutdoors #bornwildproject
Instagram post 2189960054588620795_4099340362 Making our way back to the car and while I was getting a last fix of snowy mountain views, my son watched the river flow under the bridge, saw the ice beginning to form at the edges and over the rocks and decided he wanted to either be a fish or break off a bit of ice and go surfing.... obviously not a cold enough weekend for him!! 🥶🤣🤣 #anoutdoorsfamily #wildcampingwithkids #kidswhohike #optoutside #bornwildproject #mountains #makememories #exploremore #familyadventures #OutAndAboutScotland #ukhikers
