#UKexplore in June 2019

We’ve been back out exploring locally this month and its been brilliant. Highlights have included spending time at Frensham Little Pond, one of our many favourite National Trust sites near us, Alice Holt Forest and heading to the beach.

If you’ve not come across #UKExplore before, it’s an Instagram based community focused on outdoor adventures and special places. Every month we give away a National Trust day pass. Your photograph doesn’t have to be an image from one of the 534 National Trust properties (although you probably know we adore them), we want to see your ‘off the beaten track’ spots, too.

Your photograph could be the most marvellous of meadows, the perfect place for a picnic, the loveliest lake for skimming stones, or rambling routes for running along. Wherever and whenever you’re out exploring, simply take a photo and upload it to Instagram using the #UKexplore hashtag so we can find you. You don’t have to be a blogger either, anyone can join in and be in with a chance to win a prize.

The #UKexplore community is co-hosted by Karen from Mini Travellers (& Fuelled by Latte) and myself. If we’re not following each other on Instagram, do give us both a nudge – you’ll find me here and Karen here. These are just a few of my favourite images from the last month. Make sure you head over to Mini Travellers to see Karen’s winner and her best #UKexplore photographs too.

My winner this month, however, is An Optimistic Adventure who wins a Day’s Family Pass to a National Trust property for this brilliant capture. Well done and thank you so much to the National Trust for providing the prize.

Do click on the links above so you can follow these folk on Instagram. We look forward to hearing about all your adventures next month.
