Thanks to @ShaneOhly Ourea Events and James Thurlow @opentracking for organising the first Adventure Sports Events Conference. A valuable day recognising common challenges and learning from the distinctive experiences of others. @LDWA1 found itself among friends. #getoutside

Congratulations on getting this far @PhoebeRSmith - good luck ☘️ for the next stage. Proud of our @LDWA1 President 😊
Beyond proud that despite the pandemic leaving my industry in turmoil, catching Covid and having an unexpected baby, I’ve managed to (somehow) keep going and am now a finalist for the @travelmediawrds in the Best Broadcast and Sustainability Feature categories. Thanks so much 🙏

Get those recipes submitted 😋😋😋
Potential for the @LDWA1 Anniversary Recipe Book maybe. These bad boys are Shropshire Butter Buns. Not just any Butter Buns either as these are Hignetts of Pontesbury Butter Buns. #WalkThoseCaloriesOff #MunchingTheMarches

Lovely to see Rebecca Dawson winning the vote today to become the next chair of the Ramblers. And in the debates that followed, a reminder of the importance of the Right to Roam - righttoroam.org.uk/ and hopefully lots of working together between @LDWA1 and @Agri_becca
