Sharing is caring!

We are now mid way through the school Summer Holidays and the amount of photos that you have been tagging has been amazing. I’ve loved seeing what you have all been up to and we are about to start our UK adventures too, having just spent a week in Corsica.

We now have over 18,000 photos tagged #UKexplore since we started in May 2016.

We spent a weekend camping with friends during July in Yorkshire and had fabulous fun.

Another one from the lovely weekend camping weekend with friends in Yorkshire. The Saturday was a such lovely weather and whilst this one also got covered in midgey bites I do love this picture of her slightly disheveled and loving spending some time by the river. #ukexplore #ttot #familytravel #travelwithchildren #travelwithkids #travelkids #igtravel #trips100 #traveltheworld #showthemtheworld #myfamilyadventures #traveltherenext #postcardsfromtheworld #traveldeeper #travelstroke #travelling #trip #getaway#travelblog #instago #travelpics #tourist#wanderer #wanderlust

We have had this gorgeous ones reception year school report and one of the best things is it that she is one of the kindest children in her class and always looks out for everyone. I love this photo and think her eyes shine happiness. #love #ttot #familytravel #travelwithchildren #travelwithkids #travelkids #igtravel #trips100 #traveltheworld #showthemtheworld #myfamilyadventures #traveltherenext #postcardsfromtheworld #traveldeeper #travelstroke #travelling #trip #getaway#travelblog #instago #travelpics #tourist#wanderer #wanderlust #travelphoto#travelingram #mytravelgram #visiting #travelphotography

I tag all my UK days out photographs #UKexplore on Instagram and if you aren’t following me over there I’d love you to do so! You can also keep an eye on what we’ve been getting up to.

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. So without further ado, who have I chosen this month….

 

Some of my favourites from July are:

Truly Madly Kids Lizzie Woodman the joyoffive

Mairihelena MummaHub Caroline Needham

Leebo600  Capturingthesedays AdventuresEm

(Do click on their links if you would like to follow them on Instagram)

This month’s winner of the Day’s Family Pass to a National Trust property of their choice is Daisy_InspireCreateDo with this wonderful photo of the sea in Lyme Regis.

I know, another picture of the sea… I was going to post something different, but this sky, this sea, this summer light… it’s hard to do anything else! . . . #Gowildlyandslow #slowlivingforlife #theartofslowliving #pocketsofslow #documentyourdays #theeverydayproject #thephotographerwithin #seesomethingwonderful #dreamsmatter #livewild #livefree #lookforthelight #alittlebeautyeveryday #natureoverhorizon #fiftyshadesof_nature #sgiew_actnatural #freeupmyinsta #tv_aqua #tv_sea #sgiew #sgiew_outdoors
