46 CAPTURE YOUR SKYGAZE

Find a nice patch of sky on a walk and lie there a while looking up at it. Consider you’re wearing the planet as a backpack. Two pics: one looking straight up, one in-situ selfie.

47 FIND A STONE THAT DESERVES ATTENTION

A stone with a hole? Tooth-shaped gravel? A pebble that looks like Peter? Find a stone that deserves a moment in the spotlight after several million years of being ignored.

48 TAKE A PHOTO OF THE PRETTIEST THING YOU SEE EACH DAY FOR A WEEK

Seven pics: the single most pleasing thing you saw each walk. No matter how humdrum: looking closely will fix memories more firmly and finely.

49 WHO CAN FIND THE HEAVIEST CONKER?

We’re on the hunt for King Conker! Find, shell, and email a pic including the scales so nobody knows who’s winning til the big reveal: walk1000 miles@countrywalking.co.uk

50 SALUTE THE SUNDOWN

This month sees the summer depart, and we’d like to see respect being paid to the hot bright thing that makes it all happen. The more gravitas you can muster the better. This person’s style is frivolous, but ok!
