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 fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?
I’ve recently purchased a sit mat from the os shop. Sometimes you want something more comfortable to sit on than a wet rock in the mountains.
