Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?
I’m Brendan a freelance photographer and content creator who is on a mission to conquer every mountain in England and Wales (Nuttalls & Marilyns) I’m also bagging Munros when I travel up to Scotland. I love the outdoors and adventure, capturing its beauty while I hike is something I love to do and I love sharing my routes and must visit places with my followers.
What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?
Brendan’s Favourite Hiking Route – The Old Man of Storr
@explorewithbrendan This place truly is one of the most magical places I’ve ever been to! It’s paradise. 😍 #OldManOfStorr #FYP #Scotland #HikersOfTikTok #HikeTok #VisitScotland #IsleOfSkye #Paradise #ForYouPage ♬ Paradise – Bazzi
This is so hard to narrow down but the peak of The Storr and its Old Man on the Isle of Skye will always hold a special place in my heart. What a magical place and its even better when you can rarely get it all to yourself for a sunrise.

What’s your fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?
I love these OS microfibre towels, the Peak District is where it all started for me as my closest national park it really opened my eyes to what was possible and I love you get dry yourself off after a swim or shower with maps of places that have meaning to you.
