Always on the look out for things to do in Derbyshire, whilst meeting new people? MixingOut is the perfect tool to get people all across Derbyshire out and about, organising some cool events. With the last days of May just around the corner, the weather so far has been immensely impressive with temperatures reaching over 20 degrees even at night, makes it seem like we are all in the South of France rather than in Derbyshire. Consequently, this beautiful weather gives us plenty of opportunity for fun, outdoor activities.
Trip Out
Despite Derby and the surrounding areas being a very cosy place with beautiful nature and long stretching hills, sometimes it is a good idea to change the scene a little bit. So why not organise a trip out to Alton Towers, as that is truly the place to be on a hot summers day with the Congo River Rapids perfect to get a dozen or so friends into a raft and get shoved around in a fast flowing stream with water splashing left and right for refreshment. However, for those that prefer something a bit more peaceful and quite, a walk up in the Lake District would seem like a good idea. Lake Windermere is a stunning sight in the summer.
Basic Outdoor Activities
As much as all of the above sounds incredibly fun it could be quite costly, logistically difficult and time consuming. Thus, for those who prefer to remain in the abode of Derbyshire more simple outdoor activities could be organised through MixingOut. This could be as simple as a barbecue as that would be very easy to organise, just set a the date and time and welcomingly invite people to your home and a fun afternoon is guaranteed. Furthermore, dog walks is a very popular way to make new friends and get out there in the sun, just make sure to wear sun cream! Since nearly 1.5 million people own a dog in the West Midlands, there will be little problem in finding a suitable partner for your walk.
Something More Active
Not that what we have been talking is in any way passive, as all outdoor things are active, yet if you really want to get out there on a hot day and lose a couple of kilos playing some sort of sport, then Derbyshire in the summer is the perfect location for that. There is plenty of space all around you and many people who want to get stuck into a game of footy in the park. It does not, of course have to be so conventional as to always being touch rugby or football – why not purchase a frisbee or a rounders set and get everyone down the park!?
At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what you are up to, as long as you are outside enjoying the sunshine with your friends summer is going to be a cruise.
