I am an outdoorsy soul based in West Sussex. Most weekends you'll find me hiking in the South Downs, wild swimming or paddleboarding. Not your usual Instagrammer - plus size, chronic disease and I move. Whether I am a feral trig goblin or a trig point queen will depend on how many snacks I've had. Occasionally attempt mountains when I can.

What is your interest or experience of adventure for mental health or wellbeing?

It is a cliche to say "I found myself in the outdoors," but it wouldn't be cliche if it was not true for so many people. If my friends and colleagues are feeling low, I take them to the hills. When I feel down, I have to move, and I crave the peace that follows a hike, or the rush after cold water. The sense of being purposeful in nature is incredibly healing, grounding and centring, and I love to share that especially with minority or disadvantaged groups who may not be aware of the benefits.

How can you help us spread the word about AdventureMind’s mission?

Primarily through social media (Instagram), sharing stories or creating collaborative posts with you. Word of mouth remains the strongest communication tool, and I lead lots of group hikes. I would be happy to lead walks in my local area in conjunction with your mission.
