Ellie lives and works in Eryri (Snowdonia), where she spends her time roaming the hills and putting kit through its paces. As a big fan of long-distance trails, she’s ticked a fair few off in the UK including the Pennine Way, Cambrian Way, West Highland Way and Great Glen Way. She’s also hiked in Iceland, the US, Hawaii and New Zealand.
Ellie loves multi-day walks with wild camps but believes it’s almost always worth carrying a little bit of extra weight to be able to enjoy cooking up a storm in the hills. More often than not you’ll also spot her wine pouch poking out of the side pocket of her pack.
She really feels the cold in the hills, so particularly likes to test women’s gloves, insulated jackets and warm sleeping bags.
