Outsider Cornwall It's what we're all missing... getting outside with friends and family, getting active and connecting.

Come rain, shine and everything inbetween we will be doing what everyone else isn't!

We're really sad to have to do this but we're cancelling our Halloween event due to a lack of engagement and numbers ๐Ÿ˜ข. We're not sure why our family events aren't getting much interest (not to mention an absolutely crazy lack of reach on socials, whatever we try). We love doing things with our own kids, but maybe we're a bit odd ๐Ÿ˜†. Any ideas, feedback and advice gratefully recieved.

We're often asked what Outsider is all about. Why we started it? What are we hoping to achieve?

And here's the thing. I wasn't a very sporty kid, although I really really wanted to be...

Sports often felt all about competition. Competition to make the team. Competition to place well. Competition to win. And I wasn't good enough to compete. So I quit. Like a lot of young girls.

But the thing is, I still enjoyed sport. I loved football, but girls football wasn't really a thing in the 90s. I loved swimming, especially in open water. I just didn't want to compete or do things seriously. I wanted to have fun.

Then I met Rob, who did ALL the sports. He encouraged me to try different things. Some things I loved. Some not so much. And then we had our own kids. Who happened to all be girls too. And we wanted more for them.

We've encouraged them to try everything too. Not always to compete or progress. Sometimes just to have fun. Sometimes to see if they like it. But mainly so we can spend time outdoors together.

Because when it comes down to it, people spending time together is the most important thing. You might not be the fastest or the strongest, but you might change someone's day just by showing up. If you're having fun, connecting with people and spending time outside, you're already winning. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Friday's end of summer Social run was an absolute blast. It started with some incredible sea views and coastal trails and ended with the kind of September sunset Cornwall is famous for. We made it back to The Victory Inn just as it was getting properly dark, and it was great to have a drink and a chat after. Thanks everyone for coming!
We'll be looking at more social runs through the winter, as well as bringing back the disco runs and offering some Halloween and Christmas fun. Watch this space! ๐ŸŒŸ

If you're coming to our Summer Social on Friday it might be a good idea to bring a headtorch. We're hoping to be back before dark, but it's the time of year where it's good to have one just in case. If you don't have one, but still want to come, don't worry. Send us a message and we can bring some spares.

We love orienteering, and Polly Joke is a beautiful place to give the sport a try. We'll be going to this one, if anyone else fancies giving it a try?

Don't forget it's our last summer Social of the season next Friday with Outsider Cornwall , meeting just before 6pm at the Victory Inn, near Porthtowan. Hopefully we'll get to see the sunset and the full moon rise (although it could just be increasingly dull cornish mizzle, who knows). We'll be having food and drinks at the pub after.

If you're coming for the first time and feeling nervous do drop us a message and we'll look out for you on the day ๐Ÿ˜Š
