So it's time for us to sign out of #GreenSpaceDarkSkies. What a year it's been!✨ We headed to 20 secret locations across the UK. From the Causeway Coast to the Norfolk Broads, the Gower to Orkney, each place was somewhere anyone could visit, anytime for free...

We want to say a big thank you again to every single Lumenator that joined us. We couldn't have done it without you! #GreenSpaceDarkSkies may be over but give @walktheplank a follow as we've got lots of exciting plans to use our Geolights in innovative & fun ways going forward.

But in the meantime, from the whole team, we want to wish you a fabulous festive break. And if you get chance to venture outside for a winter walk this Christmas - take it! Being out in the UK's beautiful countryside is good for the soul ✨ #GreenSpaceDarkSkies

Our #GreenSpaceDarkSkies events have inspired many of our Lumenators to try something different, get outside & be more creative. In May we headed to Meldon Dam in @dartmoornpa. After the event one of our Lumenators Rhiannon shared a poem she had written about her experience...✨

"Standing on those steps at the end of the day I felt proud to have been a part of something so fresh & different in its approach. I was on a real high when I got home & the words of the poem, reflecting that moment of magic on the steps, came easily that night."

Did you join us at the start of our #GreenSpaceDarkSkies adventure & attend one of our events at Dinas Dinlle or Ilam Park? Our fab photographer @gazcook took some beautiful portraits of our Lumenators at these events, were you one of them? ✨📷

There is a growing body of evidence that tells us connecting with #WildPlaces improves our health and wellbeing. Now we're in the colder months of 2022 - we’d love to hear how you connect with nature in winter? Comment below!👇
