An ethical and inclusive small company that predominantly runs hill walking adventures.

� help organise charity challenges
� wild camping weekends
� challenge hikes
� sunrise walks
� scrambling routes

We are based in Lincolnshire with navigation courses, day walks and night hikes all over the Lincolnshire Wolds and more recently Nottingha

mshire. The organise events all over the U.K. on the popular mountain areas and less well known adventures. We like to add value by enthusing about natural history and bring the walk to life. People who join our events maybe have hiked before but wish to learn to map read, want the hassle taken out of organising, want to join a group, want reassurance on a scramble eg on Tryfan/ Crib Goch or Helvellyn. Or they may be new to hill walking and want the reassurance of a Leader particularly at night. You can expect a warm welcome, an inclusive event, experienced and passionate staff who are fully insured and qualified.

Working for yourself means most of the time you work by yourself. Sometimes we need others to lead the event, other times like larger events we need lots of staff. I’m very grateful to the wider team…

Your gentle reminder to follow my new nature page….

𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙣 (𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙖)
The Robin was voted official bird of the U.K. in 2015 with 34% of the vote. The very popular Robin can be found singing all year round defending its territory, of which there are around 6.7million. The U.K.s affection is long lived with many references in literature, in stories and in rhymes. The name redbreast is thought to be from the Anglo-Saxon “ruddoc”. They may appear more orange than red but oranges were first imported in 1300 and orange didn’t become a colour until 1500, centuries after birds were named so its - Robin redbreast. Males and females look similar.
Early postmen wore red tunics and were nicknamed ‘robins’ which may explain it’s association with Christmas cards and post boxes.

Robins are widespread, a gardener’s companion as it hopes you reveal a few worms. It can appear cheery and interested, in-fact they’re wary and feisty. For most of the year males and female defend different territories and if you regularly see a Robin, it’s probably the same one. In the spring, the female moves into his territory to breed where she builds a nest of hair, moss and leaves in potentially unusual places. She lays 4-6 blue eggs which hatch in 2 weeks and grow quickly. They eat seeds, fruit, insect and invertebrates. Robins thrive in gardens, hedgerows, scrub, woodland edges and parks. The risks to the Robin is birds of prey, domestic cats and cold nights, where a Robin can lose 10% body fat in one day. Robins have been known to fight/ injure/ kill other robins to defend their territory and food source. On cold nights you can help by putting out a few meal worms. Many European cultures suggest Robin bought fire to the earth and scorched his chest, others suggest it was injured removing Christ’s thorny crown and is stained red with blood. Our affinity with robins is deep rooted and it’s bound to continue.

2025 event calender taking shape

𝐂𝐰𝐦 𝐈𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐥 - 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐫𝐲𝐫𝐢 (𝐒𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚) 2nd May 2025 - 09:30am - a circular walk with Iolo around Llyn Idwal In 1954 Cwm Idwal National Nature Reserve became Wales first. The exclusion of grazers has helped natural regeneration giving an insight to what the uplands could/should look like. Iolo will be joined by myself and geologist Dewi, a former park warden and current employee of the National Trust to give insight to the formation of Eryri, the effect of violent volcanic activity, eons of folding and mountains of ice over the last 450 million years. This geology is extremely significant which inspired both Darwin and Attenborough We’ll walk slowly, only around 6km, over 6 hours as we study upland specialists such as montane flowers, woodland indicators, migrant birds and how discuss how species have adapted to this harsh environment. Previous trips have included raven, wheatear, ring ouzel, stonechat, kestrel, meadow pipit, cuckoo, goosander, ferel goat, newt, trout, dipper, purple saxifrage, big asphodel, sundew, butterwort on the hill and wood warbler and a range of woodland birds on return to the cars. Both Dewi and Iolo are Welsh speaking, you can expect some welsh names, welsh culture, welsh sayings, history, anecdotes, and lots of humour! Alternative date 4th July These can be paired with RSPB South Stack - also with Iolo, Dewi and myself on 1st May or 3rd July. Where we have seen chough, peregrine, puffin, gillemot, rock pipit, fulmar, gannet, razorbill, raven, adder, lizard and some unique flowers! For more information email [email protected]

Short 30 second video of last nights autumn Harvest SUPERMOON walk. A friendly and keen group did around 8 miles from Tetford. We saw 🦡 🦇 🐭 🦌 too!

I hope you enjoy my video. You may know I organise walks with Iolo Williams watching wildlife. The walks are 6 hours of slow paced walking - mainly chatting. We’re joined by a geologist from the national trust so we’ve got birds, flora, fauna, history, environment, Welsh culture, rocks and reptiles all covered. We organised 2 in 2023, 4 in 2024 which sold out but we still have 2025 places, July proving popular but plenty of space in May 1st May South Stack 2nd May Cwm Idwal 3rd July South Stack 4th July Cwm Idwal We’ve already had people buying these as Christmas presents. We’re looking for deposits at this stage. Come to North Wales and meet Iolo, Dewi and myself! Events are on my page under “more” then “events”. www.richardfishoutdooradventures.co.uk
