I used to be an ultra runner. From that I grew into a Mountain Leader.

Since 2014 I have tried to spend as much time in the mountains and hills as possible. Menopause, arthritic knees and a busy life gradually whittled down my training for ultras, but my love for the outdoors never waivers and I have turned my experience of running in the hills to hiking and wanting to share that passion with others.

Living between Yorkshire and Derbyshire, I’m lucky to be able to reach most hilly places in the UK easily. Continually learning and growing, I want to help more people, and specifically women, get outdoors by removing their fear of the unknown.

I am the owner and Editor of RunUltra.
