Hello I’m Sarah – a writer and walker 👋 I set up The Writer’s Walk to show you how you to use your walks to notice the world, spark ideas and fuel your creativity. It’s open to all and I’m hoping to create a kind community of creative wanderers. Fancy joining in?

What’s your favourite book? And have you ever taken it for a walk? In my latest edition of The Writer’s Walk I share an experiment I’ve been doing for the last couple of years to see what types of books boost my walks and inspiration, and which ones bog me down. thewriterswalk.com/p/walking-wi...

Outdoor community builders: the brilliant team at @gojauntly.bsky.social are looking for a community manager. Could it be you?

A lovely wander around Huggate. Catching the view at the poetry bench, good company from our four-legged pals, and tea with a tree. If only every Sunday was this chilled.

It’s #WorldCopywriterDay on Tuesday and I’m hosting a #CopywritersUnite night in Hull, East Yorkshire, to celebrate. Who’s in?

40 years ago today, Ferris Bueller took a day off 1. This makes me feel really old 2. Life does indeed move pretty fast – so today I’m going to follow Bueller's lead and stop and look around so I don’t miss it

The Regent’s Canal towpath looking might fine today. #MorningWalk

Such a beautiful day for a morning walk. The highlight was spotting this welly boot on the fence in front of the Wanstead Park grotto. From a certain angle it looks like the grotto’s about to eat it. Or is that just me?!

Walk with your head held high. Because as a wise man once said: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Ferris Bueller New walking and writing prompt on The Writer’s Walk site now: thewriterswalk.com/p/walking-wi...

The jasmine is absolutely hitting the spot right now. I’ve been walking with my nose around London, taking little detours down all the side streets where I know find some. Jasmine is one of my favoure smells. Full of the potential of summer. thewriterswalk.com/p/walking-wi...

I’m excited to see that my ‘Words in the woods’ walk is the @gojauntly.bsky.social walk of the week. It includes nature prompts and a simple writing prompt you can try while stopping to enjoy the views halfway through the walk. walks.gojauntly.com/walks/words-...?

If you could take a walk with anyone, real or fictional, alive or gone, who would it be, and why? #NationalWalkingMonth

This looks fab. The hardest bit is choosing your favourite path!

So excited to see the launch of the London Walking Festival. There’s loads of events happening around the city in May with lots of inspiration for getting out and about.

With the UK about to see the hottest April in 7 years, we’re seeing a lot of sunshine this week. Go for a walk in the sun and use thes prompts for your writing: What does the light reveal that you didn’t spot on a grey day? How does the air feel? How do you feel after your stroll? #walking

A few years ago I wrote about saltmarsh for a collaboration between @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social and writers’ organisation, 26. Earth Day seems like a good time to share it. 26project.org.uk/26habitats/s... #writing #earthday

These daffs were in perfect bloom on my #morningwalk around Tophill Low Mature Reserve. What have you spotted on your walks that made you smile?
