Why am I here?
After discovering hiking over ten years ago, I have truly fallen in love with the mountains. Since then, I have hiked and camped all over the UK.
After struggling with my mental health for years, I have found that the outdoors has put me on the path to recovery.
In this blog, I want to share my adventures and knowledge of the outdoors whilst creating a safe place to document my mental health journey. I hope you take away some ideas and inspiration to start your own outdoor adventure.
