Lisa Wells
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?
I live in North Wales and I am a qualified Mountain Leader. I am passionate about protecting the area I live in for future generations and enjoy volunteering with the Snowdonia National Park.
As well as hiking I enjoy paddleboarding and wild swimming. In my spare time I run free well being walks for women and enjoy travelling in my campervan.
My Border Terrier, Billy is always right next to me on my days out and his love of the outdoors means we are the perfect match.
What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?
Lisa’s Favourite Hiking Route – YGarn, Glyderau, Eryri
My favourite route is Y Garn on the Glyderau. It’s an area packed with history, as well as mythological, facts and interesting stories. The views from any part of the route are so special, it’s a walk I do regularly to clear my head and press the reset button.

What’s your fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?
A reliable GPS watch and Suunto are a great make. A watch like this is something I use every day for my mountain days as well my paddleboarding sessions and outdoor swimming. The battery life is exceptional and the added bonus of solar charging if it needs a boost is a huge bonus. They also look pretty good too
