The Bucket-Lister from Julia Goodfellow-Smith is a travel blog ( she ’ s currently in New Zealand ), but also supporting her two books on the interface between outdoors and self-help genres . She ’ s posting fortnightly to over 200 existing subscribers harvested from her existing website and blog but continuing to slowly grow . She plans now to put the archive of existing posts behind a paywall . ( Over 90 % of what ’ s read on Substack is free content .)
Nature ’ s tidings , Kevin Sene ’ s one , supports his new book Spectacular Britain with four posts since the start of the year . It ’ s currently free , with an option of $ 8 / month subscription . Posts are a mix of nature writing , scientific insight and personal anecdote .
Out of Office from Kassondra Kloos , her lively and wellillustrated walking / writing blog , transferred to Substack in mid- February 2024 , and discusses what it is to Not Be British while hiking and writing in Britain . Free , with an option to pledge future support .
About Mountains , my own Substack , posts a short essay ( around 1,000 words ) every week on the history of hillwalking and mountaineering . The free newsletter rose to 50 subscribers in the first two months , but has plateaued off at that level . I plan to run it for six months before considering whether to put part of it behind a paywall ( or , I guess , close it down ). outdoor focus / spring 2024 7
