British Summer Time Walks

From University of Winds I learned about British Summer Time Walks, instigated by Blake Morris:

Replace your morning scroll with a morning stroll.

British Summer Time is a series of short sunrise walks in consideration of the time change. Over fourteen seasons, walkers from across Europe, Asia and the Americas have walked the dawn with me. You can join from anywhere in the world for one walk, all of them, or anywhere in between.

Its a simple process:

1. Go for a walk from fifteen minutes before sunrise until fifteen minutes after.

2. Share your sunrise through email or social media.  

This ticked a bunch of boxes for Lisa and me, so we committed (to ourselves, really). Today was day 7 of 22. Lisa’s heroically roused herself from her sickbed all but 2 mornings; somehow, against all odds, I’ve managed all 7.

Here’s the proof of life:

And here are the sunrise photos. Some days the sun was awfully elusive (the pouring rain on day 1 almost did us in).

There are still 15 British Summer Time Walks to go: join in!
