The seasons are changing, but fortunately, there are still some sunny days. Now is the perfect time to make the most of these sunny days by spending as much time outside as you can.
According to Claire Bowen of Shower to Shower, research suggests that being outdoors has numerous advantages for one’s health and well-being.
“Being outside is a terrific way to improve your mood and maintain the necessary resilience required to deal with the everyday pressure that we encounter, in addition to lowering stress levels and increasing Vitamin D.”
These three activities should be on your list for the next time you go camping or hiking if you’re the adventurous kind.
Scrambling
There may probably be portions of the trail that demand you to scramble, whether you’re hiking in the Magaliesberg highlands or exploring Table Mountain’s peaks.
Scrambling is a more technical kind of hiking that falls somewhere between rock climbing and hillwalking.
The guidelines include doing your homework on your route, dressing appropriately, moving slowly, and checking your hand and footholds before scrambling on.
A Via Ferrata
For the most daring, try this pastime, which falls in between rock climbing and scrambling.
A via ferrata is a route used for mountain climbing that has steel ladders, rungs, or cables fastened to the rock.
By fastening a harness with two leashes to these fasteners, climbers can safely navigate the course and reduce the chance of falling.
The most daring new outdoor activity in South Africa is a via ferrata, which can be done in a number of locations across the nation.
Foraging
The newest thing in outdoor pursuits is foraging.
It’s not only nice to be outside, but you’re also getting some exercise while gathering food.
Foraging, to put it simply, is the process of acquiring free wild food.
In reality, it’s become more popular recently in South Africa, especially in the coastal regions where seafood like mussels, kelp, and other marine critters are prized.
