Niamh Lewis Verified Guide

About Niamh Lewis

I grew up in North Lancashire and the South Lakes and have been fortunate to spend nearly 30 years outdoors competing in and taking part in many different sports, activities and hiking & camping expeditions. I have been outdoorsy and sporty ever since I was old enough to walk. Growing up in the North-West of England, surrounded by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, was a huge part of my interest in the outdoors. I was fortunate to spend my youth in Scouts and learn all my outdoor skills in navigation, camping, expeditions and equipment at a young age, which has been refined and developed as I grew up and took on more challenging and solo adventures. My hobbies include adventure-based challenges like fell running, multi-day expeditions, and open water swimming, including long-distance end-to-end lake swims. I have always been curious about trying new activities and giving things a go -- unafraid of failing or being rubbish at them, and always curious about exploring new places, learning the history and folklore about a place, and analysing maps and topography. At times, I have trained and competed in serious outdoor/adventure events, and also spent time doing them for leisure. This means I have gone through all the stages of progression from total innocent newbie to veteran, so I have learned all the mistakes, tips, tricks and what works and what doesn’t! I have 30 years of experience in the outdoors, backed by professional qualifications as a mountain leader and sports coach. My approach is to inspire and encourage individuals to embrace outdoor activities in a sustainable way to reap the benefits for their long-term health.
