There you go, I said it! Most people don\u2019t like admitting to middle age but I\u2019m really enjoying it. There are downsides of course, like dodgy knees, but there\u2019s so much to be said for experience (and the children leaving home). I\u2019ve been enjoying myself in the outdoors for so long now, I feel really comfortable with it. I\u2019m a freelance outdoor writer and instructor and work with young people and adults teaching navigation and expedition skills. I would say I\u2019m most happy when I\u2019m outside but I love planning my walks, swims and camps as much as I do experiencing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do you love the outdoors?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong>There\u2019s always so much discover when you\u2019re outside. I don\u2019t mind if I\u2019m in a city or exploring a wilderness, I just like looking, seeing and often writing about what I find. Getting moving after a long week in the office, sitting in the dark on the hill, finding a small piece of history, you can do all of these things when you\u2019re outside. And, because our natural world is so unpredictable, you never quite know what your next outside experience is going to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you get outside?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong>I open the front door! Since the pandemic I\u2019ve really enjoyed exploring more locally. I\u2019m lucky enough to live by the South Devon coast and have three beaches within a 30-minute walk. Walking is my favourite outdoor fun activity but I use it for transport as often as I can too. My morning exercise is a walk down to the beach, a chilly sea swim and then a walk back up our super-steep hill. I love all types of camping, including my camper van and this year I\u2019ve been undertaking lots of outdoor adventures by train. It\u2019s been great fun, better for the environment, and nowhere near as challenging as I thought it would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s your favourite route?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite route is always the next one I\u2019m planning to walk. I love the anticipation and research that goes into a new walk. I\u2019m as happy wandering round my local copse as I am exploring the Cairngorm Mountains but it\u2019s always Dartmoor I come back to. I love&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/11641165\/adventures-by-train--dartmoor-wild-camp-ivybridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this walk up from Ivybridge train station<\/a>.

My collection of train adventures is growing and includes sea swimming, wild camping and city-to-city canal walking. It\u2019s been great fun. We\u2019ve recently adopted a Jack Russell puppy, who loves the outdoors as much as I do, so my next challenge is to include him in my adventures. Soggy tent dog anyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s the most essential thing on your kit list?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong>This is going to sound crazy but I carry a thick rubble sack in all of my rucksacks. They are really useful for waterproofing gear, sitting on, isolating wet kit, and all kinds of other outdoor fun. I\u2019ve even used one for tobogganing in Norway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who inspires you to get outside?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong>These days it\u2019s my puppy! He\u2019s always up for an outdoor adventure. I\u2019m not sure other people inspire me to get outside but I do find the idea of exploration fascinating. I want to discover new things wherever I go, even if it\u2019s just in my local area. As an outdoor writer, my job is to inspire other people to get outside but the job itself inspires me, I love thinking about what my readers might enjoy and how I can make it easier for them to experience an outdoor life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you prefer: Paper or digital map?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong>Both!<br><br>I always use a paper map and compass for on-the-ground navigation (for so many reasons but mainly because I love having the skills) but I also love planning walking routes and getting ideas for exploration from OS Maps. I use both in my work, I\u2019m a navigation and expedition instructor as well as being an outdoor writer but I\u2019m always most proud when I\u2019ve taught someone else to use a paper map and compass.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"Champion__social-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFollow for more\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"Champion__social-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fidarby\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"instagram\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><g transform=\"translate(-117 238)\"><g transform=\"translate(117 -238)\"><path d=\"M12,18a6,6,0,1,0-6-6A6,6,0,0,0,12,18Zm0-2a4,4,0,1,0-4-4A4,4,0,0,0,12,16Z\" fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><path d=\"M18,5a1,1,0,1,0,1,1A1,1,0,0,0,18,5Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><path d=\"M1.654,4.276C1,5.56,1,7.24,1,10.6v2.8c0,3.36,0,5.041.654,6.324a6,6,0,0,0,2.622,2.622C5.559,23,7.24,23,10.6,23h2.8c3.36,0,5.04,0,6.324-.654a6,6,0,0,0,2.622-2.622C23,18.441,23,16.76,23,13.4V10.6c0-3.36,0-5.04-.654-6.324a6,6,0,0,0-2.622-2.622C18.44,1,16.76,1,13.4,1H10.6c-3.36,0-5.04,0-6.324.654A6,6,0,0,0,1.654,4.276ZM13.4,3H10.6c-1.713,0-2.878,0-3.778.075a4.317,4.317,0,0,0-1.638.361A4,4,0,0,0,3.436,5.184a4.317,4.317,0,0,0-.361,1.638C3,7.722,3,8.887,3,10.6v2.8c0,1.713,0,2.878.075,3.778a4.317,4.317,0,0,0,.361,1.638,4,4,0,0,0,1.748,1.748,4.315,4.315,0,0,0,1.638.361C7.722,21,8.887,21,10.6,21h2.8c1.713,0,2.878,0,3.778-.075a4.316,4.316,0,0,0,1.638-.361,4,4,0,0,0,1.748-1.748,4.316,4.316,0,0,0,.361-1.638C21,16.278,21,15.113,21,13.4V10.6c0-1.713,0-2.878-.075-3.778a4.315,4.315,0,0,0-.361-1.638,4,4,0,0,0-1.748-1.748,4.317,4.317,0,0,0-1.638-.361C16.278,3,15.113,3,13.4,3Z\" fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/g><\/g><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center Champion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/\" class=\"Button Button--default \" target=\"_self\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAll OS Champions\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Fi Darby &#8211; Freelance outdoor writer and instructor, wild camper, sea swimmer and avid hiker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3645,"parent":0,"template":"","tags":[],"regions":[62],"champion_status":[105],"class_list":["post-3361","champion","type-champion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","regions-south-west","champion_status-current"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
