A "fix" is a way to satisfy a craving or desire (originating from drug-takers, I've always assumed). So, this is suggesting that the readers have a need for some outdoor recreation every so often. It's not as strong a word here as its origin might suggest.
"Attitude" in this sense is quite hard to explain. Basically, it means it's more of a ballsy place: louder, brasher, more cool people,
