A hot day for the Evesham Walkers are Welcome walking festival. From Pershire, via Great Comberton, then over Bredon Hill back to the cars at Ashton-Under-Hill. With 1,215 foot of ascent it made for quite a hilly one!

Research shows that it is not about the amount of time spent in nature objectively, but that moments of active engagement are what develop greater nature connection and well-being benefits.
Slowing down, noticing, engaging the senses, and exploring the meaning of experiences is key to going beyond just physically being in contact with nature, to developing an emotional connection and closer relationship.
