New Country Walking! Nature, Michaela, rucksacks... ❤️

The world’s a wonderful place when you walk! And you can find out a lot more about the curious and wonderful living things with which we share it, in our brand new, bursting issue. From wild horses in our mountains, to chatty fungus in our forests, via deep sea diving on foot, old oak trees, beautiful butterflies, walking fish, urban birds, Britain’s rain forests and your close encounters of the furred kind it’s a positive Jumanji of a read! And we haven’t neglected the two-legged, trouser-wearing species either, hearing from the wonderful Michaela Strachan, mind-bending Merlin Sheldrake, inspiring David Lindo, the women who saved a million birds, the man with 250,000 fleas and a botanist who booby-trapped her bulbs (and who whose tumbledown garden you can walk if you dare).

Plus how walking helps overcome menopause woes, and lots of lovely rucksacks the right size for long walks or weekends away. There’s one that’s right for you.
