Sent my old car-seat back to @maxicosiUSA UK today with a little letter. Take some responsibility and set-up a recycling scheme! 225,000 car seats going to landfill in the UK every year is a disgrace.
We're excited to meet Mikaela this Weds: failure, success & joy of the wild. Mid-week inspiration for all VT students & staff. 🌍 JOIN US >> bit.ly/MAoutdoors2021tickets INFO >> bit.ly/maoutdoors2021 @VenturersTrust @victoriastarkie @Samanth53721162 @SMVBristol @DofE @trystanpw_

The spirit of the Kinder Trespass: why we need to rethink the ‘right to roam’. The growing campaign to widen the outdoors to underrepresented groups is the next step in the access movement, argues writer and adventurer Faraz Shibli. 📸@rachelsarah_m tgomagazine.co.uk/news/the-s…

Happy International Women's Day! One category is Women in sport, so here’s my review of the incredibly strong Sarah Outen's film 'Home', chronicling her 4 year 20,000 mile human-powered journey. @ShefAdvFilmFest @SarahOuten #IWD2020 #EachforEqual mikaelatoczek.com/new-blog/2…

Awesome afternoon with one of my favourite mini adventurers Hannah yesterday! Hannah is 4 (or if you ask her, half 4/half 5) & is already a climbing pro, she can put her harness & helmet on independently & is getting pretty nifty with tying in too! @Womenclimb @ThisGirlCanUK
