GetOutside Champion: David Wilson

#GetOutside Champions David Wilson North East

David Wilson is a proud ambassador for his home county of Northumberland, through his love of its heritage, culture and most of all its amazing country and coast.

A big promoter of the benefits of fresh air and open spaces through Northumberland 300, David is often found leading group walks while waxing lyrical about all that’s great about the outdoors.

When he’s not walking with others, you’ll find him completing some big mile personal challenges such as Hadrian’s Wall non-stop or his 2012 double Great North Run…not to mention the half a dozen times he does the Yorkshire Three Peaks every year!

David’s a firm believer in the Latin phrase ‘Solvitur ambulando’ which means ‘it is solved by walking’.

GetOutside Champion: Lizzie Carr

Lizzie Carr returns as one of our original GetOutside champions.

Raven Crag - Thirlmere

OS GetOutside Champion, Jack Anstey, takes us on a short, steep walk with some of the most rewarding and spectacular views the Lake District has to offer.

Bamford to Edale, via Ladybower

Laying between Bamford and Edale (at the foot of Kinder Scout), it makes for a perfect, easily extendable half-day walk with good views, which can happily end in a pub lunch in front of a cosy fire! The area also has great access by rail and easily navigable, so no need to have a designated driver if you fancy a pint at the end!
