  • There’s no better feeling than returning to the great outdoors We’re here at the White Horse in Kilburn, North Yorkshire. The steps weren’t very forgiving but we made it up and those views made up for it! We also managed to take our beautiful @gandys backpack on its first adventure! #MakeLifeWild #NorthYorkMoors #WhiteHorse #NorthYorkshire #Yorkshire #YorkshireLife #UKHikers #UKOutdoors #HiddenGems #DontJustExist #Gandys #Travel #TravelPhotography #TravelCouple #TravelBlog #UKHikes #UKWalks #UKScenery
  • Always wear bright colours on a hike... We recently received a message from someone who had taken a photo of us during our hike on Saturday. They found a picture of Megan in her yellow coat on the Pen-Y-Ghent location tag on Instagram. They recognised her coat, and sent her this photo of the two of us. People are amazing #MakeLifeWild #BeKind #PenYGhent #YorkshirePeaks #Yorkshire #Peaks #3Peaks #Hiking #UK_Outdoors #UKTravel #TravelCouple #Walking #Outdoors #Mountain #Scramble #YorkshireDales #NorthYorkshire #VisitYorkshire #CoupleGoals #UKHike #GreatOutdoors
  • Whilst travelling may be on hold, we can still appreciate the beautiful things around us. This was taken in September and shows Hull City Hall and The Maritime Museum from a unique perspective.

  • This was taken at North Cave Wetlands in East Yorkshire last month. Having moved closer to the coast, we’re running out of local places to go for a walk! If anyone can recommend any walking spots in East Yorkshire, we would really appreciate that!

  • We can’t wait to get back out there and explore to our hearts content. This photo was taken at the top of Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh at approximately 7:20am. We miss travelling and seeing beautiful sights like this one every week. Hopefully we’ll soon be able to live with restrictions and guidelines. Next on our list is looking to be London or Scotland.

  • Who has been out for a hike or on a long walk since the loosening of lockdown? We’ve been getting out and about, but to ensure we’re keeping a social distance, we’ve changed our behaviour slightly. - We wrote about it in our latest blog post (link to site in bio). Have a read and we’d love to hear some of your suggestions, too. - #MakeLifeWild #Coronavirus #SocialDistancing #SociallyDistant #covid_19 #TravelCouple #TravelPhotography #Wanderlust #InstaTravel #Travelgram #PlacesToGo #PassionPassport #InstaExploring #WanderingWisely #WeekendVibes #Discover #AmazingPlaces #TravelDeeper #Explore
