Six cities, six days. That was our summer challenge for the nation’s favourite P.E. teacher, Joe Wicks. As a longstanding MINI Ambassador, Joe and his team jumped into a MINI Countryman to kickstart the P.E. with Joe's UK tour, supporting Children in Need with 100% of proceeds going towards the charity.
From West Sussex to Edinburgh, Joe took his workouts to some of the country’s most iconic spaces for a good old fitness session with over 6000 exercise-keen participants. After hundreds of star jumps, fans then got the opportunity to meet and take photos with the somewhat sweaty fitness coach post-workout. The event raised a staggering £50,000 for Children in Need.
Being a huge MINI fan, Joe also took his Countryman for a bit of a de-tour to visit nearby attractions. He stopped to enjoy an archery session at Warwick Castle, a hike at the Wainstones in the North York Moors, and paused for a pitstop by the seaside on the North East coast (where he camped out on top of his Countryman with a well-earned brew). You can see what he got up to in the video below.
It’s a great time to discover the best of the UK. But with staycations on the rise and places getting booked up fast, you might be wondering where you can go.
If Joe's UK tour has inspired you to chase the spirit of adventure, we've got just the place to start your next incredible journey. Like Joe, we've done the legwork to put the country's best-kept secrets on the map, from the wild views of Whiteless Pike to the peacefulness of Pedn Vounder beach. Head to our Big Days Out Index to explore the most exciting, elusive escapes on your doorstep and create your own Big Day Out here.
And if you fancy experiencing the MINI Countryman for yourself – either off the beaten track or on the road to your next wild adventure –
