‘After driving through the evening from London to North Wales, at the age of 30, I was looking forward to my first camping experience with my then husband to be. We pitched the tent in the inky black of night on snowy ground, I could see nothing. In the morning I awoke to a sheep trying to get its head inside the zip of the tent. I poked my head out and what I saw has stayed with me ever since. Mountains! Magnificent, huge, awesome (in the real sense of the word) mountains. I had been raised and spent my life in London and never ventured far, so I was astounded at this sight where millions of years of the earth rising and twisting had produced this landscape which reduced me to tears. It changed me and provoked something that led me to travel as often as finances would allow in order to soak up as much of this wonderful earth as possible.’
