Sharing is caring!

Firstly my apologies this July UKexplore post is late, it’s totally my fault as I was away enjoying myself on a fabulous holiday in Corfu and asked Charly if we could hold back until I had time to choose when I was back.

We’ve spent a couple of weekends away in July with a camping weekend in the sun in Wales with friends and a trip to Bluedot Festival in (not quite sun) with The Twinkle Diaries.

When I am exploring the UK 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 a National Trust day pass for your family. So without further ado, who have I chosen this month….

This month’s winner of the Day’s Family Pass to a National Trust property of their choice is Typical Mummy with this beautiful shot of a poppy field which was posted on her 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.
