Ten UK woodland and waterfall walks that a wet weekend improves, from Waterfall Country, Aira Force and Ingleton to the Hermitage, Falls of Clyde and Glenariff, with distances, grades, parking and entry costs, winter closures and how to stay safe after heavy rain.
An autumn walk is a route that's better in October and November than in summer: rust-red bracken, gold birch and beech, the deer rut, migrating geese and seal pups. These ten long UK walks, from Glen Affric to Exmoor, are at their best in that weather, with notes on exposure and getting there.

A nerdy hobby is one with a learning curve and a community that cares about the details, such as miniature painting, card models or a Raspberry Pi. The way in is one first project: a free Warhammer shop session or £23.50 squad, a £10.50 card shelter or a £10 Pico kit.
Black Friday is the sale on the day after American Thanksgiving, 27 November 2026, with Cyber Monday on the 30th. With the price you'd happily pay written down before the sales start, the countdown clocks lose most of their power.
