What makes me want to be outdoors, is to get away from all the madness of work! to get away for a day, weekend or for longer periods up in the hills or in a woodland has such a calming effect and relaxing and to light a fire and feel it's warmth on your face with nobody else around makes you feel free and helps me see things in another prospective! after being a carer for my father for four years with Alzheimer's and after he died in 2012 I took time out and spent two weeks walking part of the Pennine Way on my own and just being there with my own thoughts, I found that was part of the healing process and when I got back home I was feeling more positive in the way I was thinking and that's why I like the Great Outdoors!........Sorry for going on a bit!
