  • I turned 40 at the beginning of December 2021 and wanted to make and inspire change. I love the outdoors and I love exploring new places so I set myself a challenge for my 40th year........
    I decided I would reach 40 summits of 40 mountains at the age of 40!
    So over the next year I'll be doing 40@40 💪
    A gloriously Sunny Day hiking the Pen y Fan Horseshoe in the Brecon Beacons including;
    Corn Du - 873m
    Pen Y Fan - 873m
    Cribyn - 795m
    Fan y Big - 716m
    Only 32 to go...... I have a lot planned this year and will be documenting as much of it as possible.
    If you would like to support my channel and buy me a coffee it would be greatly appreciated 😊
    Thank you to everyone for the likes, subs and encouraging comments. You're continued support is overwhelming and heartwarming ❤️

      Hi Angie, comments like this mean so much to me! Yes! You can enjoy the outdoors at any age or fitness level. Being out in it will help you to feel stronger. My advice would be to stick to something low level and not too strenuous to start with. Maybe try to catch a sunrise or sunset somewhere local to you. I've never visited Derbyshire but I'm sure there's some beautiful places near you 😊

    Oh my gosh I was so happy for you when you decided to do the last one. You would have regretted not doing the last peak forever. Have fun stay safe.

    My home!!! Good job the first accent up that hill is a killer, worst part of the horseshoe but good to get it out of the way early. Lovely weather for the Fan too... Why not challenge yourself in future and have a bash at the Fan dance? Big love from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
