When was the last time you took a 10-minute diversion through a park instead of rushing headlong from A to B? When will you find time to take a proper lunch break and visit that exhibition before it ends? Or take the train to the seaside for the day instead of doing the weekly shop?

We tend to overlook the jewels on our doorstep in favour of pursuing the far-flung and the exotic. We feel we need to buy ourselves time and space and distance to really relax and enjoy things. Yet we miss so many exciting tricks by waiting for the right conditions to present themselves.

In the Guardian's Enjoy England supplement, we’ve tried to make things easier by breaking down time into enjoyable chunks. But obviously we can't do it all on our own.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN - AND WIN

Help us compile the ultimate guide to getting out and about by posting your tips on Been there and you could win a pair of tickets for a Virgin balloon flight.

Here's what Virgin say about the prize: 'Let us launch you into the majestic world of hot air balloon rides to experience the sheer joy of the oldest and most romantic form of aviation in the world. The incredible feeling of time suspended as the world drifts quietly below is one you will never forget. Enjoy seeing the country from above and send in your best aerial photos to showcase the wonders of England.'

Pretty appealing we're sure you'll agree.

You can post on any or all of the time frames. So:

10-minute treats
Lunchtime adventures
A night on the tiles
Day trips
Weekend getaways
Week-long trips

Brockwell lido on a sunny day? Probably a day trip that tip. Settling into a tipi in East Sussex? Go for weekend getaway. Picking up a second-hand book in Hay-on-Wye? Easily done in a lunch hour.

Get the picture?

Once you've decided where your tip fits, simply go to the post a tip page and getting tipping. Make sure you put ENJOY ENGLAND in the tagline along with the TIME FRAME your tip corresponds to.
