Hi! Welcome to my website. My name is Siân and I enjoy solo hiking (mostly!) across the UK and beyond, as well as fitness, outdoor photography and history.
This website contains links to what I’m up to across the web.
After hiking in the High Tatras, I took the next day at a slower pace. Poprad old town is small, pretty and quiet. Perfect place for pistachio cake and coffee!
If you've been following me, you'll have seen I hiked Rysy - the highest point in Poland. A fab experience for me, so I've included a few more of my fave pics.
Usually hiking UK, but enjoying abroad travels at the moment 😍

A hot day for hiking (32 °C I think) and I still got to walk through snow ❄️! Up at a pinch short of 2.5k meters, I had the pleasure of walking up Rysy - the highest point in Poland - with an awesome group of people a couple of weeks ago 😊.
As you can see, it's a very rocky terrain. There's a lot of boulders to step up and walk on, a small ladder and rock mounted chains on the trail at a steep section, and scrambling is needed near the summit. The heat made the hike extra challenging, and I did question my life decisions a couple of times on the ascent 😂, but overall it was a great experience and fun!

Yesterday I hiked the highest mountain in Poland - Rysy! 🥵 ⛰️ Absolutely roasting in the sun (I think it was 32 degrees C) and covered in sweat, but happy!
I started in Slovakia, and headed to the High Tatra Mountains on the highest point on the Polish side.

Usually hiking the UK, but now and then I do something a little different ✈️ 🌍 🥾 🙌 >> @thewomanthatwalks
50mph constant winds didn't wipe the smile from my face, although I did (unintentionally) have a sore neck the next day from bracing the gale 🍃. Lesson learnt and I'll be more mindful and prepared next time!
But anyway, Moel Siabod has great 360° views from the summit! I am not skilled with speaking the Welsh language, but my understanding is that "Moel" means bare, and "Siabod" (pronounced sha-bod) loosely translates to "shapely hill". Please let me know if I have this wrong 🙃.
At 872m (2,861ft), it's the highest mountain in the Moel Siabod massif.

By the shores of Llynnau Mymbyr, this quiet forest by Plas y Brenin was a historic gateway through Eryri, with roots stretching back to a 6th-century church and even possible Roman activity in the valley. Today, the old woodland tracks lead from the trees to one of (in my opinion) the finest viewpoints in Wales. ⛰️🌲✨
