Wild & Words

Wild & Words is an online wild space for a girl who loves the hills and words. A platform to share writing from adventures, big and small; ramblings from the hills, musings from the fields, and photography of nature, friends and earth.

“Protect Our Winters” ❄️ How tragic to think that views like this could one day never exist... @protectourwintersuk are doing amazing things for the cause, definitely worth checking out 🌨
Harvey took this shot of me seconding Inkerman’s Groove, VS 4c at Chudleigh. Just after the technical traverse that terrified me! Great to get out trad climbing again and hopefully I can build up enough confidence this summer to lead some routes 🌻
Happiest when roaming around with this guy ❤️ @harvey123go
Today was so beautiful and sunny it almost felt like spring... it got me super nostalgic for those warm summer days spent out in the open air 🌼 Here I am rambling through wildflower on the Cornish coast, on my way back to our little oceanside camp after a day of climbing in the sunshine with my love @harvey123go. Already excited for more golden adventures outside 🌊
NEW BLOGPOST & VIDEO: Snowy Adventures in the Cairngorms, with my sister @amiramellor. The blog features a winter walk up Meall a’ Bhuachaille, a fat bike adventure in the snow, and a winter ascent of Ben Macdui in bluebird conditions. Scroll right down to the bottom for the video 🙏🏼 link in bio.
Views beyond my wildest dreams 🏔
A dusty pink haze hung suspended over the distant peaks, the water frozen at the shores and glistening beyond. There’s something about mountains that I can’t get out of my mind 🏔 I can’t wait to share all my photos from Scotland in some upcoming blogposts 📝
Roaming around on Kinder Scout, one still morning a couple of weeks ago after a freezing wild camp on the windswept moors 🏕
Can’t wait to head back to the mountains tomorrow, just a different mountain range 😍
Pretty stoked because I haven’t been able to climb hardly at all this month as I injured my ribs. But tomorrow I’m getting back on the sharp end on some plastic holds and I can’t bloody wait! ↟ In other news, I reviewed these @fjallravenofficial leggings on my blog after using and abusing them for the last 6 months. Go check it out. 🙂 ↟ Photo by @harvey123go
Looking over to the Fiacaill Ridge, on my list for next year 🏔
I’m not sure if you can tell from this photo, but all my gear is frozen and I have the biggest smile plastered to my face 🌬 fully ready to head back to the mountains now, after three days back in the city.
