Sunshine seeker, tutu-wearing tour guide of wild walks, inclusive tours, and Roman ruins. Based in Northumberland—fueled by trails long and short, fresh air, fun facts, history banter, pre-trail coffee and post-trail beer. Also loves cake.

A group of walkers hiking along Hadrian’s Wall on a clear day, with dramatic views of rolling hills and cliffs stretching into the distance. The lead walker, seen from behind, wears a bright pink backpack and uses walking poles. The landscape is expansive and windswept, with green and brown grasses covering the terrain under a soft blue sky.

Stone ruins of Peel Gap Tower under a clear blue sky. The tower is built from dark, dressed whin stone, standing out from the surrounding landscape. A grassy path curves alongside the Roman Wall.

Peel Gap Tower – built with dressed whin stone instead of the usual sandstone. Also… not part of the Roman plans. #RogueLegionnaireMove #PeelGapRebel #HadriansWall #HiddenTurret

A moss-covered Roman milestone stands upright in a grassy field backed by leafless trees and a pale blue sky with clouds.

Chesterholme Milestone. Set in the ground by Roman soldiers 2,000 years ago to mark the miles along the Stanegate road. Still standing. #RomanGPS #HistoryInTheWild #NoTimeMachineNeeded
