It was mountains that originally called me when my whole world collapsed about 8 years ago.

Mountains heal.

Back then it was volcanic mountains of La Palma, where I lived and walked solidly for months until I found myself again ✨✨✨ The mountains have been my safe place ever since.

They’re where I go when life gets too much, where I can take a deep breath, and where I remember who I truly am.

Out here, I feel free. Grounded. Calm. Like everything just makes sense again.

Yesterday’s 7-hour hike and scramble here in Eryri reminded me that sometimes we don’t need to push harder or have everything figured out. Sometimes we just need wild places, big open skies, tired legs, and a little room to breathe.

With love & mountains ❤️

Today was the perfect day for the glyderau mountains here in Eryri National Park ⛰️ full of wonder and beauty.

I started with a scramble up Y Gribin, then a wander over Glyder Fawr, down to Twll Du (Devils Kitchen) then up to Y Garn. A very magical world full of the most gorgeous rocks, wild plants and otherworldly vistas.

It’s hard to capture the enormity of gorgeousness from yesterdays walk. It was truly magical. Beautiful visitas, so much history both from the rocks and quarrying. So quiet, peaceful, craggy, and much of the higher elevation in clouds.
The best company all day with my friend Mia

Climbing at Holyhead Mountain in Anglesey... in my element! It really helps when you get to spend the day with beautiful souls, with the biggest hearts, who totally geek out on ropes, rocks, birds, plants and the weather.

I first became curious about climbing when I did my mountain leader training in 2024 and kept meeting ML climbers. I thought ‘wow these people are inspiring... but why do they keep banging on about climbing’. Then I tried it to see what the fuss was all about. I was like ‘ooooooohhh now I get it’.

This is me taking out gear on a 27m climb, before getting to lead climb the same route 🙈😁

Deeply thankful for the incredible support from my friend Bob to make this happen. Some people are a blessing on this earth. Not to mention the incredible weather Gods who pulled out the best blue skies 🥰

Learning to do stuff when you are over 50+ means you often get to spend time with people who are far more experienced and knowledgeable than you 😁

Sometimes older people like the ‘elders of the tribe’, for whom I have the deepest respect… who’ve lived and breathed it since they were knee high! And then theres the younguns in their 30’s who have such a vibrant passion for learning and inspiring others.

Theres so much to learn with climbing. For safety. For smoothness. For joy 😁 And especially so when learning to lead on trad.

Deeply grateful for the beautiful souls who show up my life to light the way. It means I get to do things I never dreamed possible 😊 and develop an ever deeper connection with the Earth, the rocks, the wildlife in places I never imagined I’d be.

This is overlooking Llyn Padarn on truly spectacular day last week. On a clear day like this you can see the Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) mountain ⛰️ range.

This was by Lion’sRock just before a climb. Inspired by the beauty of the land and water and listening closely to the stories that the rocks tell, as always 😍

Wishing you a beautiful weekend.
