I love maps. I'm not entirely sure when my fascination with them began as it feels as if they've been integral part of my life since my memories began. But I just love studying contours, looking for routes, finding trails, and learning more about where I am. I also love getting outside and going on on an adventure.

Earlier this year, I decided to enter a competition to become an Ordnance Survey #GetOutside champion. It was a fairly simple process that revolved around [making a pledge](https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getoutside/pledges/?ref=tobiasmews.com). My pledge was to complete a [microadventure in each of Britain's 15 National Parks](http://www.hardastrails.com/category/adventure/great-british-mini-adventure/?ref=tobiasmews.com). Which I'm delighted to say, I've just finished doing.

So when I learned that I'd been [selected to become an OS #GetOutside Champion for 2016](https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getoutside/os-champions/tobias-mews/?ref=tobiasmews.com), I was totally stoked. This is my opportunity to merge two of my great loves - navigation and adventure. Indeed, I believe one can't live without the other.

Over the next year, you'll be hearing quite a bit from me, encouraging you to Get Outside more, especially on self-supported adventures - my latest project.
