My Wild Inspirations (31-60)

I've spent a few evenings working on a list of possible inspiration for 30 Days Wild! Before I even knew it, I was approaching 100 ideas! Some of them came from The Wildlife Trusts and The National Trust but many of them are my own - just the sorts of things I do anyway!

I keep thinking of more and more things I could add, but I've decided to stop and keep it to 90 things,  splitting it into 3 blog posts to make it more manageable as  I've also 'illustrated' my list with my own photos - all taken by me (or featuring me!) over the last few years.

It's been great fun browsing through my (extensive!) photo archives to find photos to match an idea on the list and I've really enjoyed reminiscing about past adventures whilst I've been putting the list together! I really hope this will be of use to someone reading!

Here are my next 30 wild ideas...                                          (you can click on them to enlarge any of the photos)

31 Run around outside in the rain - or go for a walk on a rainy day

It looks misty but that was torrential rain!

32 Look for animal tracks

33 Build a sandcastle then watch the sea devour it (add a moat and a channel)

34 Hunt for fossils

35 Visit a poppy field or wildflower meadow

36 Make (or find!) a rope swing

37 Start a nature table in your home - or make a natural treasure memory jar from a wild day out

38 Find a rainbow in nature

39 See what you can find in a rock pool

40 Build a den

41 Go on a night time safari looking for bats and/or glow worms! Your local Wildlife Trust or bat group may run organised walks.

42 Look for the little things

43 Climb a hill (don't forget to look back and take in the view every so often)

44 Search for natural treasures

45 See what's living in a local pond

46 Have a snail race

47 Make a paper boat and sail it down a stream

48 Paddle in a stream, river or sea

49 Head out for a golden hour wander

50 Discover a new wild place in your local area

51 Visit an ancient monument

52 See how many different birds / flowers / trees you can find in your garden or local park

53 Stand behind a waterfall

55 Or make your own face using clay and natural materials

56 Explore the world beneath your feet - head underground into a cave

57 Go out and look for butterflies

58 Discover a new path to walk

59 Play Pooh Sticks

60 Have a picnic

Part three will follow tomorrow with the final 30 suggestions. I hope parts one and two have offered you a little inspiration!
