Do you enjoy outdoor activities but only when the sun is shining and the sky is blue? You’re not alone with that. For some, any slight change of weather can give the perfect excuse to avoid the levels of exercise that are so vital to our physical health and, just as importantly, to our mental wellbeing. The great Alfred Wainwright once said, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” As there are no time-constraints placed on outdoor activities for the second lockdown in England, we thought we’d highlight fun activities you may want to consider so you can still stay active outside whatever the weather.
Outdoor activities for rainy days
- Jump around in mud puddles.
- Go for a run on your own or take your dog for a canicross session.
- Get a full wetsuit and learn to surf.
- Train for a Tough Mudder event.
- Wash your car.
- Go wild swimming.
Windy weather fun
- Fly a kite.
- Take your dog to the park.
What to do in icy conditions
- Go on a photography nature walk.
- Go hiking in the hills.
Snow day fun
- Build a snow man.
- Try cross country skiing.
- Go sledding.
So the next time the sky looks far from blue, why not don the appropriate work out clothing and try one of the outdoor activities above?
