About the author

Hi my name is Hannah. I am a trainee Forest Bathing guide, training with the Forest bathing Institute. I have been a forest school assistant for many years with Fernee Forest Club .

My passion is outdoor adventures, and discovering more about our local landscape.

Over the lock down years, I walked the South Downs Way with a group of friends, it took us over two years, we enjoyed a very leisurely pace that allowed us to absorb all the sights, sounds, and thrash out all our worries, triumphs, musings, along with plenty of tea breaks!

Exploring, connecting and observing local natural spaces is beginning to transform from a passion/hobby to become my actual job (nearly!). Having been comfortably tucked behind a computer screen as a website manager and graphic designer for 24 years, this is both very exciting and quite a challenge. Thank you for visiting the blog and website.
