6th October 2015

While others may complain about the summer coming to an end, at Trespass they’re too busy celebrating the start of autumn!

Yes it’s getting colder, but with the change in seasons, now is the perfect time to dive straight into all the fantastic autumn activities. So wrap up warm and let’s get started…

The Rugby World Cup

This year we’re all getting treated to the Rugby World Cup, right here in the UK! It’s the perfect time to see the home nations playing with other world class teams. If you’ve been lucky enough to get tickets then you’ll be all set for an amazing experience. Don’t fret if you haven’t though, because rugby fever has swept the nation and it’s easy to find somewhere to enjoy the festivities.

You’ll fit right in at your local rugby club, where the games are sure to be on and it’s a great time to come together with friends and soak in the atmosphere. Plus, with all the home nations off to a good start, it looks like this could be one of the most exciting competitions in a long time. It’s even the perfect time to try out rugby for yourself if you’re feeling bold!

Autumn Walks

If rugby isn’t quite your speed and you want a more relaxing way to get some exercise, then autumn is the perfect time to go for a walk. Whether a quick stroll or a lengthy hike, you can soak in the beauty of the season. Autumn has always held an air of magic about it as the leaves change to a range of fantastic oranges, reds and yellows and the best way to appreciate it is by getting right in amongst it on a woodlands walk. Plus, you’ll get that perfect balance where it’s not too warm or too cold so it’s easy to keep comfortable. Be sure to stock up on comfortable walking wear and accessories from Trespass!

There are countless trails that come alive in autumn too and it’s easy to find popular routes around your local area online. However, there’s something exciting about finding your own path or even seeing how drastically your spring and summer routes have changed. Why not pick up a few leaves on the way; they’ll come in handy for our next activity!

Crafts

This is a fun one to keep the kids happy and let’s face it, you’ll love it too. With so many new colours, sights, smells and more, autumn is a season of inspiration and acting on it is easy.

Bust out the art supplies and do some painting, dry some leaves or even start putting together the kids’ Halloween costumes. They’ll look fantastic in their homemade styles when the big day comes along. Another way to get crafty is to spruce up some old furniture using the colours around you for inspiration.

You can have some fun in the kitchen too this autumn. Be it baking, cooking or trying out some homemade pumpkin smoothies, the stores will be full of all sorts of delectable treats and ingredients, so you can make a fantastic harvest feast. It’s also the perfect time to try out some mulled cider, a favourite of mine, especially for a bitterly cold Guy Fawkes Night.

Food Festivals

Keeping on the culinary side of things, even if you’re not much of a genius in the kitchen, there are lots of fantastic food and drink festivals in the region, taking advantage of the seasonal produce.

Whether you’re a carnivore, looking for something warm and hearty on a cold day or have to satisfy your sweet tooth, autumn has countless delicacies on offer across the country. So with recipes buzzing about your head, you’ll finally be able to make use of that pumpkin for more than just decoration this October.

Relaxing with Friends

While this is always a fantastic choice throughout the year, there’s something about autumn that lends itself to enjoying the outdoors with a few friends. It’s just the right time for enjoying a picnic along a woodland trail or simply gathering for some warm soup at your favourite café. One great way to take advantage of the longer nights is to dust off that fire pit and gather round with a warm drink in hand and good company.

While it’s fun to get outdoors in autumn, don’t forget that it’s going to get mighty cold very quickly. That means it’s the perfect time to get yourself a new coat, fleece, woolly hat and more from Tresspass to complete your style.

Whatever you have planned, autumn is sure to be great this year with so many activities on offer. So get wrap up warm and head outdoors, because there are countless things to see and do in the coming weeks and months!
