Our magazines are at the heart of some amazing challenges, all that help support your physical or mental health. If you know someone who is a keen walker, runner, hiker or bird watcher, then take a look at our magazines below...
Bird Watching
#My200BirdYear is a fun and easy challenge to encourage you to see more birds than ever. You don’t need any fancy equipment, although a pair of binoculars does help, you can do it by yourself, with a friend or with a total stranger!
Country Walking
#walk1000miles created by the UK's biggest-selling walkers' magazine, Country Walking. It encourages you to walk about an hour a day to achieve an amazing total of 1000 miles a year. Believe it or not, you can do it in your lunch hour.
Trail
Mountains for the Mind is a new campaign from Trail magazine promoting the benefits of being outside. We believe in the power of the mountains to change lives and improve mental health – and we need your help to spread the word
