Ways to be outside other than walking

Just that really. Want to be outside in nature just to get some fresh air and day light, listening to birds chirping. I love being outside but other than going for a walk, how else can I enjoy just being outside (ive torn my meniscus in my knee so walking is off the agenda for a while) I miss getting my daily dose of outsideyness 😊 without feeling/looking strange about it!!

Hire an electric scooter or wheelchair.

Drive and park near to a bench to sit on.

Find somewhere peaceful to sit with a nice bench, take a flask and shove a hot water bottle under your jumper. Read a book or watch the birds.

Gardening. Will be coming into spring very soon.

Can you cycle? Take a canal boat trip, paddle/ kayak, an open top bus tour, sit in a park and sketch, go to an outdoor sound bath/ yoga / forest bathing session. Tai chi in the park. Find a local Buddhist temple and join a mindfulness walk (usually very little walking!) or meditation.
