All things Nature

Where do you explore the most?

So I generally explore all over the place including the Lake District, North Wales and the Yorkshire Dales in the UK but I also like to travel so I go to Europe a few times a year on hiking/wildswimming and general adventure type holidays! But my second home really is the Lake District! My next trip is a group trip I have organised in the Dolomites in 2 weeks.

What is your favourite outdoor activity?

It’s hard to choose my favourite outdoor activity as I seem to collect outdoor hobbies! However my two biggest loves are hiking and wild swimming which I do at least once a week! Closely followed by horse riding and wild camping.

What inspires you to protect the environment?

My own experience of the environment being abused is my biggest driver to want to work with eco friendly companies. I have been in the local paper numerous times and also been interviewed by channel 4 regarding river pollution. I post regularly on my social media trying to encourage people to follow “leave only footprints, take only pictures” and spend a lot of my time picking up rubbish at the beauty spots that I frequent. It’s important to me that we educate the public visiting these places and also other influencers who are sharing these places online.
