Seasonal tips

Summer

A picnic rug, hamper, and ice-block to keep your lunch fresh is essential. You may also choose to bring insect repellent for when you’re taking a forest walk and sun cream for when you’re relaxing on a forest glade!

Winter

Layering: lots of layers, gloves, and a hat are perfect for a forest walk or bike ride. Just make sure your gloves and boots aren't too tight and try not to wear too many pairs of socks as restricting blood flow to your hands and feet will make it even harder to get them warm. Wool is the way forward: When cotton gets wet it loses its insulating qualities. Opt for wool or synthetic materials to keep warm.
