• GETTING MY ALTITUDE ARSE KICKED •
An incredible couple of days, Awen and I got to the top of North Africa summiting Toubkal 4167m.
We are no strangers to high altitude and perhaps I was somewhat confident that while I knew I would feel the effects I expected to plough through like always.
I did plough through, well I plodded through. Slowly. Slowly. Watching Awen tied to our incredible mountain guide Abriham, fly up ahead of me. As always she walked like we were wandering round Llyn Padarn... mind blowing 🤣 and I am happy to admit im a little jealous haha!
All while I got my butt handed to me with an incredibly elevated heart rate, panting, a wee bit of dizziness and apparently some slurring, all at just 4000m. So that goes to show!
A tough, well earned summit to add to the memory bank. Im so grateful for a body that pulls through even when my mind is trying to lead the charge!
Also, a new experience for us being guided ~ it's compulsory for Toubkal and today I can honestly say I was so pleased to have that second pair of eyes and local knowledge as well as his experience ~ hugely recommend Abriham, contact me for his direct info 🇲🇦

~ C•E•C•S ~
Anyone else hit 40 and realise the body just doesn't bounce back like it used to — regardless of mindset or denial? 😅
Finding real joy in running again lately, but my calves have been shutting me down almost immediately — even on the school run. A trip to the GP confirmed it's not in my head. Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome.
Muscles swell during exercise but the surrounding tissue can't expand to compensate — pressure, pain, full stop. Common in endurance athletes and it does not care about your experience level.
Stopping isn't the answer. It's about measured activity, knowing it's going to be uncomfortable, and being just as intentional about rest and recovery as you are about the effort. Work with your body, not against it.

• SPRING EQUINOX INDEED •
What a way to welcome spring in.
Buachaille Etive Mòr — summer scrambling on the ascent, winter descents on the way back down. The perfect farewell to the cold season, arms wide open to the sunny skies.
2 days in Scotland. 16 hours driving. Worth every single minute.

• ITS BEEN A MINUTE •
Once we would venture out into the mountains almost daily together. Hiking, scrambling, climbing ... rolling down snowy hills laughing our heads off.
Now we snatch a moment at the end of a busy winter of guiding for @gemm.uk in her part time play ground and/or office.
Thanks to her and @stu_climbing_company, an absolutely top winter mountaineering instructor, I got my butt up on some good steep ground just in time before the mountains strip their winter whites in favour of a colourful summer.
Refreshing skills and building confidence but most importantly having a good time with good people.

• AND THAT'S A WRAP •
47 Miles completed 💪 but more to the point — I actually enjoyed every single mile.
Not because it was easy — some miles were truly hard work — but because my body finally feels like it's improving.
Iron deficiency is real, a genuine drain on your physical resources. Add nearly 2 years away from home, finding my feet in life again, and it's fair to say it's been a testing time.
But having this challenge to focus on? It was exactly what I needed.
And somewhere out there on those miles, favourite tunes setting the pace and my mind free to roam — I found my inspiration. I've finally plotted the next leg of my life adventure.
So stay tuned… because I think I've uncovered how I can best put my love of the outdoors to good use 😉
💸 my go fund me is open until 10th March - I would be so grateful of anyone hasn't yet donated but wants too! Im about £50 shy of my total 💕

• RUNNING FOR CHARITY •
Yesterday's run felt good. Really good. And I want to hold onto that feeling — because not every run does.

I've been running most of my life. I love the endurance side. The grit. The showing up consistently.

The past 3 years severe iron deficiency has knocked my running sideways. Staying patient with myself took real mental strength. But with my iron finally improving, I'm feeling the benefits again — and that momentum inspired me to sign up to run 47 miles this February for Surfers Against Sewage 🌊

If you're thinking about getting fit or just starting out — don't give up. Not every run will feel good. But the ones that do make it all worth it.

• ALL MOUNTAINS •
Been enjoying the mountains a little too much to stop and post lately… so here's your catch up 🏔️
Three days of winter magic in the Scottish Highlands. QMDs ticked, skills sharpened, awseome catch ups with friends, big views and that crisp winter air that makes everything feel alive.
This place never gets old.
All routes are on @komoot — find them in my stories or in my collections 🙂

• I JUST NEEDED TO DEFROST •
Last week I shut down.
Properly. Five days where my body just wouldn’t move, physical and mental immobilisation. This is not something I’ve ever experienced before. I mean total hermit mode!!
●
It gave my head far too much space. Intrusive thoughts rolled in… silly ones really, questioning whether I was still a mountain woman, or was that part of my life was somehow done 😵‍💫
●
But once logic took back over the truth was obvious.
Injury and overload had caught up with me. My body needed rest, not judgement and as I am not one for listening to the recover part of my body very well I think my brain forced me into it.
●
Today, well this week feels very different.
Back out again, on a route that I've had tucked away in the curiosity catalogue, it felt like a good idea and with a new coating of snow the wintery conditions set for the day I figured now is as good a time as any. Thank goodness Awen is always a keen bean for it.
●
Having never done this route before it was a good challenge to prepare, research but mainly trust my skills along the way and put the route from the map to the mountain. Some whiteout summit conditons and questionable wet slippery snow gives me another QMD in the bag 💪
●
This winter just keeps on giving!

So… I’m doing a thing.
Because it’s easy to care about everything and end up doing nothing so I figured lets start with something, anything and keep going 💪

This year I want to support a few causes that sit very close to my heart. First up: water.
Oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds — all of it. Because water is life, and life is worth looking after 🌊

I’m a self-confessed eco-warrior and I spend a fair bit of time in Asia, especially Nepal. I absolutely love the country, the people, the energy…
What I don’t love? The rubbish. At all.

So in February I’m committing to running 47 miles to raise money to support efforts that protect water sources and reduce pollution.
Small detail: I’ve barely run for over a year due to illness, so yes — this will be hard. Possibly questionable. Hopefully not fatal 😜

But if I’m going to suffer, I may as well do it for a good cause. Silver linings and all that jazz 😄

This is a genuine fundraiser, and if you’d like to support it there’s a donation link below. But dont panic im not asking for wapping great donations I have a collective mentality👇

Just a thought — 47 miles for 47p.
If 1,000 people chipped in just 47p, that’s £470 raised. Tiny individual effort, big collective impact.

Thank you for reading, sharing, donating, cheering me on — all of it means more than you know 💙

Link to donate below 👇stories will have updates on my mileage and well being so can either join me on my adventures or keep an eye that it's not killed me off 😬

• 3 SISTERS BY THE SEA •
Still hunting for new hikes I can squeeze in between school runs and with the sun set to shine all day, it was a no-brainer kind of decision.
♡
Three little peaks dominating the skyline as you drive south along the coast from Caernarfon. A stunning conservation area where you can smell the sea as you climb the mountains and the coast in perfect partnership. Absolute dream combo.
♡
I’ve saved this route (and all my local wanderings) on Komoot — fully public, with tips, timings and notes so you can head out and follow your own version. If you’re short on time but still want something that feels wild, this one delivers. Check out my big for a link to my collections or my story for this particular route!

• CHANGE OF PLANS •
Life as a busy mum means I usually work from a loose weekly plan, juggling work, weather and whatever fits. But sometimes you have to drop it all and answer the call.
Yesterday, blue skies during yoga changed the plan — chores, admin and messages could wait. I had a date with the mountains.
I’m slowly ticking off the Welsh 100, with routes on my Komoot (link in stories). Y Garn on the Nantlle Ridge is a perfect last-minute adventure: short walk-in, a fun wee scramble and just enough exposure to get the heart rate up.
Short, sweet and sunny. Exactly what I needed. ⛰️

• STILL FEELS WINTERY •
Even though the snow has mostly gone, it still feels very wintery. I wanted a fast mountain run today, which usually means fewer layers, but experience told me to be prepared. I took waterproofs for the wind and microspikes for any unexpected ice, and chose a mostly sheltered route.
.
The ground was soft and soggy, the wind was cold, and everything except the spikes was needed. A thoroughly enjoyable run up and down Moel Hebog—and still plenty of time for school pick-up.
.
I’m well travelled, with many countries that hold a special place in my heart, but there’s something magical about being able to squeeze in a quick mountain day between school runs. Not many places offer that kind of access!
.
Pic 2 shows how cold fingers and strong winds hinder the summit selfie 🤣

• GETTING OUT THERE •
Got to make the most of it while the winter is in! Gyrn Las winter grade I (I+ in today's conditions).
.
.
Beta for anyone interested. Snow is soft until about 600m, ice isn't bonded to the rock that well. After 600m the snow was compacting quite well under food and the turf was frozen. NW winds have started building some cornices on the NE ridges and the snow is pretty wet and heavy. Thin layer if wind slab (hard crust) on the NW aspects, slopes heavily loaded. White out conditions above 800m today. Take care out there!

• WQMD ~ Straight from the door •
Its not often that winter hits us full pelt here despite being surrounded by mountains but what an intro to 2026! The thickest, deepest, powdery white snow we have seen here for some time and everyone is out playing.
What is it about winter that prompts us to forget everything and just go out and play.
Even though today was an absolute slog fest, and even though I continue to work steadily towards getting my Winter Assessment it didnt feel like a trial, it felt like a gift.
Knowing the masses would be drawn towards the opposite Ridge line I set off up through the quarries to Elidr Fawr.
From valley floor to skyline, my legs are battered from breaking trail most of the day sometimes in waist deep powder but I finish the day aching but satisfied.
A good days wander and a great days decision making!
Thats one for the bag (or log)!

Another blue sky day, the heat was up and the shade was minimal with some steep end of the day climbs up yet more steps (soon to become the common theme).
Namaste is now no-more-steps!
Such a beautiful way to end my 30s though watching the sunset over 3 of the world's highest peaks ontop of Poon Hill!

Finally the countdown has ended and I have arrived.
I'm ready.
I'm peaceful.
I'm content.
I'm happy.
It's perfect.
So excited for the next stage of my life.
I bring with me all of the memories, experiences, lessons and wisdom I have been lucky enough to gather and look forward to whats coming next.
Seeing the sun set on my 30s and pilgrimaging up to greet the sun rising on my 40s felt incredibly ritualistic.
So much love and blessings 💕

• RECOVERY OR RETURN? •
Something I’m coming to terms with is that healing isn’t circular—you don’t “come back” to yourself. Each challenge, whether soul or body, moves you forward, teaching something new. It’s a linear journey that evolves as you go.

When something stops you in your tracks, it’s worth listening, taking stock, and learning—so that when you continue on your path, you do so stronger and better equipped.

This most recent blip, enduring a severe iron deficit, has felt longer and more debilitating than any before. That pure will of “push on regardless” wasn’t available, so I had to learn, adapt, and surrender, patiently waiting for the information to process so I could fight back correctly.

I’ve taken accountability for what goes into my body, adjusted my fitness routines to honor how I feel, and ensured every activity benefits both mind and body.

Today was special. I felt more like myself—back in control of my body and my adventures than I have for some time. Proud that I was kind to myself when I needed it most. Motivated to learn more so I can maximize what I can do, and free to simply enjoy the privilege of exploring our mountains alone, with confidence and passion.

Every day is a school day, but today reminded me: I’m not always the student. Sometimes, I am the master.

📸 Tryfan perfectly reflected in Llyn Y Gaseg Fraith. A stunningly fresh day taking in 3 beautiful summits on one linear ridge wander.

• WEEKS GO BY ... •
The countdown to 40 is still very much ON!

I’ve promised myself to celebrate every single day in the lead-up to my big 4-0 — doing at least one thing that makes me smile, feel alive, or reminds me how lucky I am for this wild, wonderful life.

Life lately has been busy, full, and overflowing with fun — adventures with old friends, new faces, and plenty of laughter in between. So instead of daily updates (because honestly, I’m far too busy living it 😆), I’m just going to share a running hashtag list of all the little and big moments that are making this countdown one to remember.

Here’s to celebrating life, friendship, and all the magic of turning 40.

● ALL INCLUSIVE AUTUMN ADVENTURES ●

There’s something about autumn hikes – the crunch of leaves, the quiet air, the way the mountains seem to hold the season a little longer. 🍂✨

This year I’m opening up a few special days to share that with you: a guided hike on one of Snowdonia’s peaks, transport, and a night in a double room located conveniently in Llanberis.

From £180 | Available until Halloween only 👻

• TEAM TRYFAN •
I’m a little late with this update, but last week Awen and I had the absolute pleasure of introducing Fleur to her mum’s favourite summit – via everyone’s favourite route!
☀️
Claire and Fleur first started joining me for adventures just after lockdown, but this day felt extra special with Tryfan being Claire’s top summit.
☀️
Over the past few years, Claire’s own skills and confidence have grown so much that she now happily guides herself up and down Eryri’s iconic peaks. But for Fleur’s enjoyment, she felt that having Awen and me along would make the whole day even more memorable.
☀️
When Awen and I team up, your wee ones get to experience something completely different. My mountain knowledge and guidance, paired with Awen’s bubbly, confident nature, bring a unique balance of learning, fun, and adventure.
☀️
So whether you’re up for a scramble, a hike to somewhere new, or just want to brush up on your navigation skills—drop me a message, and let’s make it happen!
☀️
A huge thank you to @claire_finding_adventure and Fleur for such a brilliant day out—mega effort all round! 🙌

• ROCK CHICKS •
I started climbing about 17 years ago when I met a group of legends all working towards their outdoor quals. There I was, fresh out of town, tying into a rope for the first time… and instantly fell in love with it.

A few years later, I joined a women’s climbing group and met some incredible ladies — some of whom are still good friends today.

The thing is, I’ve always been someone who wants to try everything. I dip in and out of sports and hobbies, driven by a mix of motivation and inspiration.

These days, I’m always looking for things I can do with Awen — and finally, she’s found her own little passion for climbing too! She's old enough now to understand crag etiquette, sooooo... anyone fancy a climb?

I need some time on the wall to rebuild my strength, technique and head game.
Who's keen? 🧗‍♀️

📸 this is a climb on Govan Head. Pembrokeshire. Awen and I watched this couple climb almost the whole route. The woman leading the second pitch did some amazing climbing and route finding. We all had a celebratory dance when she reached the top 🪅

☆ 21 YEARS OF YOU ☆
21 reasons why my life is better simply because you exist. So now I get to watch you step fully into your power as a woman. From you, I learned how to be a mum and how to navigate life with an extra human. For a while, it was just you and me. Those early years of fumbling my way through this complicated and ever evolving journey. Hours of giggling and being silly, 2 kids together just playing house.
Then we stumbled our way through those teenage trips, the spiralling and often fuzzy years of not knowing whether either of us could survive it. Yet, as soon as it began, it was over and we still had each other at the end, shaped slightly differently, both carrying the odd scar but still very much together.
Then you became my hero. When life turned me upside down, you stepped up to the table and you became my hero. I watched you literally grow into an incredible, powerful and confident individual and once again, I was learning from you.
Now you hold your own court, away, far far away from this nest and while I miss you as if my very limbs had been removed my heart is full always watching your journey like it's the most interesting documentary I've ever seen. Excited for the next episode, anticipation always is present, wondering how next you will blow my mind.
I'm invested. I'm all in. Forever and always my beautiful, wonderful and inspiring daughter.

Happy 21 years round the sun, Gabby! 🌞 what an adventure we have had ~ here's to as many more as we can!
