As soon as the clocks strike 12 on Halloween night, the sound of Christmas bells come into the air - slowly getting louder until we reach the ominous diary date of Black Friday.
The constant bombardment of adverts and influencers telling us what we must have can be overwhelming, especially over this weekend so we’re inspiring you to take a new look at the last weekend in November as a way of getting outdoors - renaming it Fresh Air Friday.
Each day will take on a new theme to get those ideas flowing and you stepping over the threshold and into the great outdoors.
Fresh Air Friday
It’s the beginning of the weekend and we’re sharing some more unusual ideas to get you out of the house whether - that’s for five minutes or an hour.
Forage the last of the berries
Create mud sprites with the kids
Go on a scavenger hunt to see what fallen treasures you can find
Play a game of I spy with our I Spy sheet
Take a moment for yourself and practice some mindfulness breathing techniques
Enjoy your coffee alfresco
Cycling Saturday
We have miles of traffic free trails up and down the park so you can get exploring your patch of Lee Valley. We have a list of routes, many of which are paved so you can avoid running through too many muddy puddles while pedalling through the park.
Sunday stomp
Nothing beats a traditional Sunday walk to blow away those cobwebs of the weekend. Our walking routes range in different lengths so you can pick the best one, whether it’s for little feet or muddy paws.
We’d love to see your #FreshAirFriday adventures so tag us in them on social media using the handles below.
We hope our ideas help you bring the magic of the outdoors into the season ready for the most wonderful time of the year.
