Hi again,

This will be my final newsletter of the year, so I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and encourage you to schedule some monthly nature or adventure into your life next year (eg: a tree climb, full moon outing, overnight camp, or just a cup of coffee in the outdoors).

Thank you for all your support this year!

Here are some things I’d like to share with you today:

• Two women, 20,000 human-powered miles, connecting stories across the Americas. An epic expedition.
• Danny MacAskill is back on his bike, in one of my favourite cities.
• I always enjoy end-of-year round up lists (like this). So here is my contribution. Good books I have read recently.
• What it takes to Run a Sub-Four-Minute Mile for 20 years straight.
• What time is it? This literature clock is marvellous and must have entailed so much work!
• Think the little Christmas robin in your garden has been there for years? Doubtful – it’s probably been on adventures galore. This migration atlas of birds is amazing. Take your pick of birds – perhaps the uber hardcore godwit… 
• Moss Drapes from Trees in Ethereal Photographs of England’s Forests.
• The long-established right to wild camp on Dartmoor is under threat.
• Please donate any pre-loved kids books you may have at home to this really good project that helps get more books into more kids’ lives.
• Anna McNuff’s new book about running the length of Britain, barefoot, is out now. 
• You can still order the books I’ve written for children in time for Christmas stockings.
• And because I’m cold in my shed today… Ouch!
