Hooked on the outdoors

Hooked on the outdoors HookedotheOutdoors is a movement to reconnect people especially younger generations with the beauty of nature. www.justonetree.life Nature has become my therapy.

Through sustainable tips and shared adventures, we inspire a love for the outdoors and a commitment to protect the planet. Hi, and welcome to my little corner of the internet. 💚

I'm a cancer survivor—two years cancer-free and counting. While beating cancer was a huge milestone, the journey didn’t end there. I’ve lived with chronic anxiety ever since, and every day brings its own challenges. But I

’ve found a kind of healing and peace that I never expected in the simplest of places: the great outdoors. Whether I’m hiking through quiet trails, camping under the stars, casting a line into still waters, or just pottering around my garden with my hands in the soil, I feel more grounded and more like myself again. The outdoors gives me space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the world beyond my worries. This page is a place where I share moments from my journey—photos from my hikes, thoughts on mental health, quiet wins, and sometimes just the joy of watching something grow in my garden. It’s not always perfect, but it’s real. If you’re someone who finds peace in nature, is working through anxiety, or simply wants to follow along with someone rediscovering life one step at a time, you’re in the right place. Come and join me on my outdoor journey. Let’s walk this path together—through the woods, by the water, and into calmer days.

🌤️ A DAY TO REMEMBER AT THE LANCASHIRE BOMBER MEMORIAL 🇬🇧

What a lovely day out! The sun was shining, the skies were clear, and it was the perfect weather to visit the Lancaster Bomber Memorial in Lincolnshire. 🌺
Such a moving and peaceful place — a beautiful tribute to the brave souls who gave so much. ✈️❤️

A few facts about the Lancaster Bomber Memorial:

📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/pBAKNpQMYMsnz3qe6

1. Location & visibility

It is installed near Norton Disney in Lincolnshire, alongside the A46 road between Newark and Lincoln.

The site was chosen because the area was part of “Bomber County” — Lincolnshire hosted many airfields for RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War.

Organisers estimate around 35,000 motorists a day will see the sculpture from the road.

---

2. Size, weight & design

The sculpture has a wingspan of approximately 31 metres and stands on support struts 29 metres high according to reports.

Its total weight is over 90 tonnes and it was fabricated by Timmins Engineering and Construction Ltd (based in Lincolnshire) nearly free of charge as part of the project.

The wings of the structure are about 14.5 metres each in length (per wing) in certain statements.

It’s intentionally tilted to give the impression the bomber is in flight, returning home to the former airfield site of RAF Swinderby located about 2 miles away.

---

3. Purpose & inspiration

The sculpture is organised by the Bomber County Gateway Trust, a charity set up to design, fund and build this landmark.

While not strictly described as a “memorial”, it is widely acknowledged that the structure honours the many men and women who served with RAF Bomber Command during WWII.

Specifically, the identity marking on the sculpture — serial “VN-N” — is in tribute to a Lancaster bomber that crashed nearby in September 1942 with loss of five crew.

---

4. Project timeline & fundraising

The idea was publicly unveiled in 2018 to coincide with the centenary of the RAF.

Fundraising and work took around 7-8 years. The frame, steelwork and supporting groundwork stretched through delays (including due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

The estimated cost is about £1 million, largely raised via public donations, volunteer labour and donated engineering time.

---

5. Dramatic installation

In September 2025 the major sections were transported under police es**rt along the A15 then A46, to the site, with wing sections each ~14.5 m long.

The lift into place was done using two cranes and involved about 40 volunteers securing it with nuts and bolts.

---

6. Unique comparisons & features

The sculpture has been billed as “the Midlands answer to the Angel of the North” (the famous 20m-high sculpture in Tyne & Wear) — this Lancaster structure stands taller at about 29m on its supports.

Over time, its ribbed steel shell is designed to weather and take on a patina, which adds to the aesthetic of an iconic wartime plane.

Some creative detail: two of its propellers are designed to appear as if rotating, while the other two appear still — referencing the real crash situation of the plane it memorialises.
