A walk on the beach
A walk on the beach is not only a summer pursuit. Wrap up warm and go for a brisk walk. It’s great to smell the sea and hear the sound of the waves. Collect some stones, take them home with you and paint them with acrylics.

Go on an amber hunt
Some people have amber eyes, i.e. a unique ability to spot the golden lumps of amber on the beach. However, for most people you need knowledge, patience and a good deal of luck before you spot a piece of amber. You won’t find the amber just lying sparkling on the beach; it usually gets tangled up in washed-up seaweed and you really need to be eagle-eyed to find it.

You can find amber along the entire coastline of North Jutland, but the chances of finding it are best at places where it’s windiest and the surf’s at its most spectacular, i.e. along the west coast of North Jutland. If you’re unable to find any amber your-self, there are skilled amber craftsmen throughout the region that shape, buff and polish the raw pieces of amber into beautiful shiny jewellery.

Fly your kite
Autumn weather is kite weather. Build or buy a kite, get out into the fresh air and let it ride on the wind. You can borrow books about kite-building from the library and several guides to kite-building can be found on the internet, e.g. see here.

On your bike
Rain, snow and slush will be upon us before long, and it’s therefore a good idea to give your bike a thorough check-over in preparation for winter. Clean off all the dirt – especially around the chain and hubs. Give the chain plenty of oil. Pump up your tyres. Check your reflectors and lights before the winter darkness sets in. Once you’ve finished, a cycle ride with friends or family is a great idea.
