Teaching the art of Noticing Nature (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last weekend, on a rainy Saturday morning, me and Emma packed our field guides, hand lenses and notebooks and headed to Hollows Farm in Borrowdale to do one of our favourite things: teach people the art of Noticing Nature.Japanese outdoor brand, Montbell had invited us to run a couple of workshops and give a talk as part of their new event, Lake to Fell, which as they put it is a “zero-pressure, human-powered 35km loop using paddles, pedals and feet”.As self proclaimed slow adventurers, zero-pre
Do Dolphins Sleep? And other questions from Assynt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Drawing the curtain and peering through the double sliding glass doors, the sea is gently ruffled by an offshore wind, purple and blue in the pale light of early morning.

The Wild Strawberry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever eaten a wild strawberry? I ask because last weekend, on a slow sunny Sunday we headed out to a patch we’ve had our eye on for a few weeks to harvest a few of these mini marvels. As we picked, I wondered how many people have actually eaten one, or even remember that the cultivated strawberry has a wild ancestor.You would be forgiven if you haven’t. Sadly it is rare to stumble upon them, for we seem intent on taming the places they thrive, cutting, thrashing and spraying the edges of
