She has now been able to build a career around something she truly cares about, &nbsp;Outdoor Adventure Girls, &nbsp;helping other women connect with the outdoors too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sophie-davisimg_5297-e1758279196697-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sophie davis in front of a lake in the mountains\" class=\"wp-image-17662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sophie-davisimg_5297-e1758279196697-edited-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sophie-davisimg_5297-e1758279196697-edited-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sophie-davisimg_5297-e1758279196697-edited-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sophie Davis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/outdooradventuregirlsuk\/\">@outdooradventuregirls<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-power-of-community-and-purpose\"><strong>The Power of Community and Purpose:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving back and lifting others was a very strong theme amongst many of the stories as Sophie and Jenn have already shared and Emily does below. Lisa Wells, 56, from North Wales works as a freelance Mountain Leader combining her love of the outdoors with supporting others, creating a safe, supportive space for women to connect, build confidence and enjoy the outdoors together. She is also an Ambassador for the Eyri National Park, a volunteer on the Caru Eyri scheme, trustee for the Snowdonia Slate Trail and works on an ad hoc basis for the NHS. &nbsp;Her new lifestyle gives her the variety she likes and a sense of giving back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fi Darby, 57, also speaks of the joy she feels when people tell her she has inspired them to try something having been helping other people to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ripple-effect-of-building-confidence\"><strong>The Ripple Effect of Building Confidence:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Kate MacRae, 58, from South West Wales the confidence gained outdoors helped her decide to follow her dreams. Having raised her two children as a single Mum, whilst also teaching and running her own business, she sold her home in Lichfield and moved, alone, to South West Wales to a property with three acres and is building her own nature reserve. Life\u2019s too short to hang around or keeping putting things off she says. She spends her days \u2013 from the crack of dawn until dark most days \u2013 working on the project \u2013 where she also watches, photographs and films wildlife for her community online so they too can experience the joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1-619x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1-619x1024.jpg 619w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1-181x300.jpg 181w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1-768x1271.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1-928x1536.jpg 928w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1-653x1080.jpg 653w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grace1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grace Kelly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/graces__adventures\/\">@graces_adventures<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace Kelly, 34, from Strafford Upon Avon began her journey into the outdoors in her mid twenties after a relationship ended and she was feeling very lost and lonely. After climbing her first mountain, she felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, as she pushed herself out of her comfort zone. She has now made adventuring and content creation her full time career, travelling and living happily alone, whilst everyone around her has settled down with children and family life.

Our youngest contributor Tilda Way, aged six, told me how much she loved riding bikes especially going downhill, as well as walking and playing at the seaside. It helps her feel really happy and calm and adventures can be really fun. She adds that sometimes playing in the garden can be quite an adventure in itself. By comparison, <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/shilpa-rasiah\/\">Shilpa Rasaiah<\/a>, in her early 60s, came to appreciate the outdoors quite late in life and loves to paddleboard, camp, walk and cycle. It helps her to destress and as she moves into outdoor spaces she feels all the cares and worries life and she can breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shilpa also explained that she is hard of hearing and in enclosed spaces finds it very difficult to hear conversations. In the outdoors she has found a refuge and her sanctuary. I wrote about Shilpa\u2019s Grand Union Canal SUP Challenge in my book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/adventures-on-the-water-by-jo-moseley\/\">Adventures on the Water \u2013 The Power of Paddleboarding to Change Lives<\/a>, <\/em>a journey of 170 miles and one which continues to inspire many others to believe in themselves and know they are truly not too old to embark upon something too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-outdoors-meets-us-where-we-are\"><strong>The Outdoors Meets Us Where We Are:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/megan1-796x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Megan Collington\" class=\"wp-image-18564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/megan1-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/megan1-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/megan1-768x988.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/megan1-840x1080.jpg 840w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/megan1.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Megan Collington <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/outdoor_meg\/\">@outdoor_meg<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Life and our wellbeing are never as linear as we might hope, but nature is there for us along the journey. <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/megan-rose\/\">Megan Collington<\/a>, 31, a Civil Servant who works from home, shared her health journey with me and the health conditions that impact her life \u2013 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Until a few years ago she was exercise intolerant and ran her first 5k when she was nearly 30 after starting heart medication. This opened up a whole new way of exploring and she started climbing and hiking big mountains as well as wild swimming, camping and bikepacking, redefining how she saw herself and what she is capable of. &nbsp;Thanks to the medication she felt fitter than she had in years. Now, however, despite increasing her medication, Meg\u2019s health means she needs to slow off her adventures. \u2018But nature will always be there for you, every day\u2019 she adds, reminding us that getting outside doesn\u2019t need to mean big hills, being the fastest or fittest. Simply going for a local walk just to stare at whatever birds and plants you can find will change your day and spotting the small stuff can change your pace of life and the way you view the world and your place in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/grand-union-by-sarah-round-sarah-round-3.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Union by Sarah Round\" class=\"wp-image-6993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/grand-union-by-sarah-round-sarah-round-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/grand-union-by-sarah-round-sarah-round-3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sarah Pound <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bicycleadventureclub\/\">@bicycleadventureclub<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The perimenopause and menopause can also be a chapter in life which is not easy for many women and where the outdoors can be hugely beneficial as Fi Darby has shared above. <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/sarah-round\/\">Sarah Round<\/a>, 50, spoke candidly about being part of the \u2018Perimenopause Funfair\u2019 \u2013 questioning everything she thought she knew about herself, her emotions \u2018\u2019running the House of Horrors and her body \u2018becoming a sideshow attraction.\u2019 As a lifelong cyclist Sarah has always used her bike to navigate life\u2019s twists and turns. It is her safe space and comfort zone. It puts her back in control and reminds her of what she is capable \u2013 in spite of all the challenges that the perimenopause is throwing at her. Her upgrade to an e-bike has helped her get outside even on the days she struggles the most. Having spent time at the Perimenopause Funfair myself in my 50s I can relate so much to Sarah\u2019s story and found being active outdoors so helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solace-for-troubled-times\"><strong>Solace For Troubled Times<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zoe1-1024x773.jpg\" alt=\"Zoe Holmes\" class=\"wp-image-18566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zoe1-1024x773.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zoe1-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zoe1-768x580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zoe1.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zoe Holmes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/splodz\/\">@splodz<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most moving elements of this research is reading how the outdoors has helped offer comfort and healing through difficult times. <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/zoe-homes\/\">Zoe Homes<\/a>, 44, from Gloucestershire, spoke so bravely about having to relearn how to move through the day, to carry what\u2019s heavy and simply how to be in this new version of her life through huge grief. She is leaning harder than ever on the things that have always held her and time outside is one of them. For more than a decade she has spoken and written about the benefits of <em>One Hour Outside, <\/em>this time now feels less like a choice and more like a lifeline.

Ten years later she experienced a breakdown when delayed grief hit her. Whilst on the waiting list for therapy she went on a solo hike which led her to a trig point&nbsp;in the Peak District. The mental boost it gave her was unreal and \u2018trig bagging\u2019 gave her purpose during a difficult time. The outdoors she says saved and changed her life. She is now a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader and Mountain Leader and runs her own business planning and leading hikes and courses for women. She runs midweek events between school runs for other mums like her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as sharing their experience, I asked for the OS Champs top tips and motivation for anyone now inspired to start their journey into the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Advice:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start small: &nbsp;simply sticking your head out of the window to feel the sun or rain on your face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Know that the first step is the hardest \u2013 be proud of yourself for doing that<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be kind to yourself and know that every step builds confidence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Believe you can and you will.

You never know what is around the corner and life is too short to hang around or keep putting things off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t wait for others \u2013 you may discover you enjoy solo adventures and your own company. If you want to join a community or group event, don\u2019t wait for someone to join with you \u2013 you\u2019ll meet lovely people there<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach out to a supportive group \u2013 maybe a hiking or a wildlife group. Being part of a group is uplifting, helps put life into perspective and lets you enjoy their support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you find joining a group daunting, message the leader ahead of the event for support &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trying something new can be less scary if you are trying it with someone else and share experiences are what makes the world go round<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give yourself permission to be curious&nbsp; without judgement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notice new things and tiny joys every time you go out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Know that if you don\u2019t enjoy it, you can simply try something else<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You don\u2019t have to have it all figured out!

I\u2019ve been there. I\u2019m there now. But I promise a walk, a swim, time sitting on a hill taking in the view really will help. You deserve that time. You are welcome.
