We head down to the river for some wild swimming with travel journalist and author Sian Lewis, who tells us the best ways to get out into nature, even if you’re short on time. We also chat with presenter Kate Humble, whose trip to the Dordogne a few years’ back resulted in her buying her very own remote lakeside cabin which has since become her personal refuge in nature.

Follow Sian Lewis’ micro-adventures on Instagram, or try out some stargazing for yourself at Poacher’s Cabin in the Dordogne. Follow us on instagram, buy our book, or read our outdoor lifestyle tips on Find Your Wild.
