It's always wonderful meeting new people on an adventure - shown is the group I hiked with around the Swiss Alps last month 👋🏻. I trained for the expedition with Cheryl, Gordon, Sarah, Helene, Yvonne & Paula in the UK. And we joined more adventurers for the trip. 🥾🥾🏔️

Would you go this far for THIS view 😍? Croix de Javerne🇨🇭is 2097 metres up (6,880 feet) with a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view of the Rhone Valley. Gorgeous! 🏔️

This time last year we set off to find this waterfall because it was mentioned in the Guardian. And when we did find it (it's in the North Pennines) we were the only ones there. Perfection! ❤️

I'm meant to be walking round the Matterhorn today. It's not gone to plan due to the weather, but all hope is not lost! 🤞🏻for me 🤗

So happy to be in Scotland if only for a few days. Had a wonderful cycling adventure with @nnife.r & kudos to @scotrail who made travelling with bikes easy!

I'm back in Bonnie Scotland again cycling - shall tell you all about it soon! In the meantime, this photo is of Loch Ness when I cycled around it in 2022 with friends. Never get tired of that view! 🚴🏻‍♀️

🥾Training for the Matterhorn continues! This was our second hike to prepare for our trip to the Swiss-Italian alps in June. 🗻We travelled to the Lake District to climb Skiddaw, the 6th highest mountain in England. 💪🏻It was 3,054 feet (931m) to the summit. Back of the net!

🌉 Not just any bridge! This is the Royal Border Bridge, one of the finest viaducts in the world! Opened by Queen Victoria and has no fewer than 2️⃣8️⃣ arches! 📍Sadly it doesn't actually link England and Scotland (the border is 3 miles further north).

🏝️Now that's a beach! Waimanalo in Hawaii is one of my all-time favourite beaches. Three miles of gorgeous white sand is to die for! If it seems familiar - Magnum PI and Hawaii Five-O were filmed there. 🎦 All-round dreamy 😍

When I'm 80 and I come across this photo of me "fat biking" in Finland, I'll remember that it took me 5 hours to cycle 12 miles (16km) in the snow! And the times I fell off the bike. There may have been swearing 🤬😂. I'd look back and think "I'm glad I did that!" 💪🏻.

My tribe: ladies who hike! 🥾 Pics from a great practice walk we did a couple of weeks ago up Roseberry Topping in North Yorkshire. Practice for what, you may ask? Why, walking the Matterhorn in the Swiss-Italian Alps. 🏔️

This isn't my dog! But isn't he (she?) adorable? This is one of the dogs that pulled a sledge with me and Kirsten @kir.de63 taking turns to drive. "Mush"!
