Ways to spend Father’s Day with your Outdoors Dad

So you’ve just picked up your old man some nifty new outdoors gifts, let’s get him out there using them! Here are a few ways you can spend time with the most important man in your life on his special day with his wonderful new gifts.

Go on an adventure

If you grabbed dad some new boots or gear, why not take the day to go out into nature and find a nice walking route to enjoy? The Lake District is one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, and we feel that everybody should experience a walk around the lakes at least once; it’s the perfect little Father’s Day trip.

We’ve outlined our 10 favourite walking routes around the Lake District for you here. Why not go find one that suits you (and your dad’s) street and plan a trip now?

Have a BBQ

A bit of a simpler idea, but with summer being right around the corner, and dad has some cool new outdoor garments to show off, why not have a BBQ in the garden? It’s a great way for dad to spend the day with the whole family, and you can even invite other families along to celebrate Father’s Day with you. And if it starts to get a bit nippy in the evening, then dad can try on his new fleece or jacket, maybe?
