Seven reasons to get outdoors this autumn
What does autumn mean to you? Wet weather? Cold days? Being stuck indoors? Think again. We’ve picked seven reasons to get outdoors with ways to save to make it even better.
Enjoy all weathers
The weather is cooling off but don’t let that stop you from getting outdoors. Layering your outdoor clothing is key for unpredictable weather.
Add a mid-layer such as the Craghoppers Strata Fleece for extra cosiness, or the Craghoppers Horizon Waterproof Jacket to protect yourself from wind and rain. Use your DofE Card or Voucher to save at least 10% at our recommended retailers.
Find your inner adventurer
Being adventurous doesn’t just mean going on a DofE expedition. Challenge yourself, find your head for heights and get an adrenaline rush with Go Ape.
Expect stunning landscapes and incredible views. Discover your nearest Go Ape Tree Top Challenge and save 15% off full priced activities with DofE Go Ape discount code DKBH9.
Sleep under the stars
Gather your camping kit and get close to nature. Whether you choose traditional camping in a tent, or you’re looking for glamping, camping pods or barns – YHA has something for every kind of camper.

Be prepared
The weather can be changeable so add a little extra warmth to any outdoor activity. The DofE Buff is the ideal accessory whatever the weather. Take away the chill of the wind and wear as a beanie, scarf or a headband when the sun is shining. Pop it in your pocket and you’ll be ready for whatever the weather throws at you.

Check out the trails
Riding a bike is a great alternative to walking if you want to explore the outdoors. Check for cycle trails local to you or head out to a national park.
Get some new gear, pack up those saddle bags and stick on your helmet for a ride to remember. Save at least 10% on bikes and cycle accessories at GO Outdoors with your DofE Card or Voucher.
Discover somewhere new or old
