So much to discover on local walks, small anchor points of beauty. From the way light filters through the forest; the intricate structures of mushrooms bubbling up on a path; the hues and textures of tree trunks (the idea of 'forest bathing' is lovely, so much more attuned to the space!); to stumbling across the near dry bed of a chalk stream, one of our ecological marvels (there are only 210 chalk rivers worldwide, most of which are in the UK).

What have you noticed on your walks, what made you pause to stoop down, look up, reach out to touch, or listen out for?

For all you lovely walkers on here sharing what you've seen on your COVID walks, you might find the Slow Ways of interest. It's an initiative to create a national network of walking routes connecting our towns, cities and villages in the UK: https://beta.slowways.org/  

"The slow map seeks to elevate the position of walking in our national conversation, to be seen not just as a worthy, healthy hobby but part of our national transport infrastructure. Coronavirus is changing life in many unexpected ways and those who think more walking should be part of our lives now have a new tool. Maps do not just describe the world, they can often help change it." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54562137

Happy walking!
