Hey, I’m Katy - an unapologetic adventure mum and lover of all things wild.
I love spending time in the great outdoors, taking on new challenges and exploring new places with my trusty walking boots!
Believe it or not, I haven't always been this way. As a teenager, I used to hate going on walking holidays with my parents … “are we there yet!?”, “It’s cold”, “I’m bored!” as we spent summer holidays hiking through the Alps.
All I wanted to do was go on a “normal” holiday where I could relax on the beach, play in the sea and be as far away from the mountains as possible.
Fast forward 20 years and I’m now the one dragging my husband along mountain ridges, up steep inclines and to the summit of the UK’s highest peaks.
But there's more to this adventure story - it's not just me and my husband anymore. We've welcomed a new adventurer into our lives, Lily, our gorgeous baby girl.
In the spirit of showing her the wonders of the world, we've taken our hiking adventures to the next level. It's an absolute joy watching her explore nature and grow with each mountain we conquer.
I am a mum - navigating the great outdoors with my little adventurer.
Let’s embark on this journey together…
