Sharing is caring!

Well although it has felt like the longest January on record there have been times when it’s been beautiful and bright and blue too.

We’ve managed to get out and about and enjoy the sun too as we’ve not had a lot of other things planned.

Here are a few of the things we’ve been up to in the UK in January 2020!

Just in case you aren’t aware what #UKexplore is, it is our Instagram community that we have invited you all to join in with and share your favourite places across the UK and your outdoor adventures.

To join in it doesn’t have to be a photograph one of the 534 National Trust properties (although we do think they are amazing); we want to see your ‘off the beaten track’ spots, too. It could be the most marvellous of meadows, the perfect place for a picnic, the loveliest lake for skimming stones, or rambling routes for running along. Wherever and whenever you’re out exploring, simply take a snap and upload it to Instagram so we can all share in your adventures and explore the UK with you. All we ask is that you use the #UKexplore hashtag so we can find you.

You don’t have to be a blogger, anyone can join in and be in with a chance to win a National Trust day pass for your family. So without further ado, who have I chosen this month….

Some of my favourites from January are:

@typicalmummy and @dougslandscape_photography and @steveosbornephoto

@elizamoreland_ and @inthewildwildwood and @aspiresoloroaming

@littleboo_21 and @theminimesandme and @northeastfamilyfun

This month’s winner of the Day’s Family Pass to a National Trust property of their choice is michellevanherck with this fabulous photo. It was posted on their Instagram feed and tagged #UKexplore.

We look forward to seeing all your photographs next month and huge thanks to the National Trust for providing the prize.
