Get Out of the Bloody House!

Lately, I’ve been feeling friskier; cheekier. It can only mean one thing…summer is coming, and it’s time to figure out how to use these precious months wisely. After all, everyone wants to enjoy the weather and sunshine while they can, so how do you spend this valuable time? On what spectacular activity can you expect to get the most for the time investment? You could hang out at a beach, assuming you are coastal, but that is really cliché, and frankly, I think you deserve better.

This summer, get wild. I’m not talking about getting sloppy, bladdered-drunk and breaking your platform heel outside a pub. I’m taking about nature-wild. Trees. Mountains. Hiking.  Bug spray. Kayaking. Bears sniffing around your goods while you shiver, completely exposed, nearby in a paper-thin tent. You know; the good stuff! The stuff that really makes you grab life by the bullocks! It’s nature, baby! And you might as well enjoy it while you can. Because it won’t be summer forever, and you’re no spring chicken, as they say. And neither am I. So let’s get to the knitty-gritty here, cuz times-a-wastin’! Get your arse off the sofa and away from the telly, and climb a mountain! Stop faffing around and scale a cliff like Spiderman. Pitch a tent by the side of the river. Hike an old National Trail. Get out and DO something; appreciate this thing they call nature that is all around us, that we humans, for some inexplicable reason, seem to hide from in our little boxes more and more.

If you are waiting for the pitch, you are very, very smart. (But I will keep it short and sweet.) I LOVE outdoor stores; just being in them inspires me to be more daring and gritty, and care less how my blooming hair looks that day! Being in nature gives us permission to be wild and unkempt, like the rest of the natural world. Every time I go into an outdoor store, I feel a holiday coming on. But you; you are even more clever (and green!), because you save the gas and shop online. And so take your next adventure; get the heck off your sofa and pack a bag and some trail mix and GO! And yeah, stock up on your gear, and maybe even get inspired for the trip by browsing an outdoor site.

Tiso.co.uk has climbing offers, and a great variety of tents and other gear to make your outdoor adventure happen. Tentastic.co.uk is filled with tents to tickle your fancy in every imaginable kind.
