Meet Elizabeth Asad, a hiker with a passion for cold water swimming

Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?

My favourite outdoor activities are cold water swimming. I love going for a hike and finding new places to dip. There is no feeling like it, I always have a flake with me to make a hot drink for afterwards.

What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?

Elizabeth Asad’s Favourite Hiking Place – Llanberis

My favourite place to explore is Llanberis, there are so many options from the quarries, mountains, lakes, castles not to mention the heritage.
