There are so many benefits to spending time outside. Here’s PAU’s top reasons to spend time in the great outdoors. As well as some tips on how you can meet new people out there as well…
EXPLORE THE OUTDOORS AND MEET NEW PEOPLE
Meet new people in your community
Meet like-minded people and make new friends near you, all powered through the love of the great outdoors. Whether it’s a run or a hike, a ride or a ramble, there is magic and connection to be found when you spend time in nature with friends, new and old.
From Audley Striders to Alsager Harlequins Cycling Club, PAU has teamed up with a whole range of clubs, all rooted in community. Click Here to discover local communities near you.
If you’re looking for new friends, running clubs, or group rides, join our social community so you can find out about our events first – and pop parkrun in your diary, which is every Saturday at Trentham Gardens.
Reach and see new heights
We’re based near the Peaks, and what a place it is. Wherever you are in the UK, there are some gorgeous sights to be seen. Places you would never have expected to find, routes you didn’t know existed, and views that you could only dream of – head up the Roaches and you will see what we mean.
We’re all about adventure. We also have two stunning holiday homes nestled in North Wales so that you can adventure and explore. Click here to learn more.
Finding a new flow
Not only do you have a real good time when you’re out exploring, but it’s good for you as well. Being outside builds up those happy hormones and exercising and walking outside can have other positive effects on your health – Minus the pint in the pub at the end and we have a good case on our hands.
Steeped in history
Obviously it’s all gorgeous, but whether you’re on a run or a ride or a walk, there is so much history to be seen and appreciated. From ruins to wrecks and everything in between, if you like knowing about where we came from and how we came to be, there is plenty of insight to be found across the country. We will write a post on our favourites, soon.
Good for the body
Achy knees? Get out on a walk.
Stiff back? Get out and have a stretch.
Feeling like a prawn or a pretzel from sitting at a desk? Get yourself out there. Being out in nature is physically good for you, and boy we feel the benefits every single time.
Good for the soul
It’s good for your head, as well as your heart. Getting yourself out into the open is scientifically proven to make us feel happier, healthier, more content, and we get more of the good stuff in our brains as well.
A beautiful time of year
Spring is coming. The world is coming to life and nature is starting to bloom, so it is the perfect time to get out and enjoy what is often on our doorstep. If you don’t want to go alone, grab a friend or meet new people as part of a local community group, and set yourself off on an adventure to enjoy and appreciate the great outdoors.
You won’t regret it.
