Storms, sideways rain, and pedalling uphill… whi Storms, sideways rain, and pedalling uphill… while going backwards. Ashleigh Kitchiner’s October solo adventure didn’t go to plan. - but maybe that’s the point.

From Glasgow to Arran and back, she discovered that detours can be just as wild, inspiring, and rewarding as the routes you plot months in advance. Highlights? Meeting passionate marine conservationists, soaking up community-led projects, and learning that sometimes the adventure isn’t about the miles you cover, but the perspective you gain.

Thinking of chasing your own challenge but hesitating? Ashleigh’s story proves that a little encouragement (and a lot of waterproofs) can turn stormy setbacks into unforgettable adventures.

Big thanks again to our sponsors @ospreyeurope @alpkit @komoot @tentmeals_expedition_food @vallon_official for making this possible! 

For more information on Ashleigh’s story and for this years grant application process please check out the link in our bio!

A huge thank you to @alpkit for inviting us to thi A huge thank you to @alpkit for inviting us to this year’s Shakeout — what a brilliant weekend of inspiring talks, great people, and plenty of outdoor fun!

We loved having a stall and chatting with so many of you, and it was a real privilege to be invited to share our thoughts on the barriers women face in the adventure space, and what we’re doing as Adventure Queens to help overcome them.

It was wonderful to catch up with so many inspiring people and organisations making the outdoors more inclusive and welcoming — @jomoseley, @a.eribake from @wccc_uk Yvonne from @peak_district_mosaic , @apeakdistrictmum , @frit_tam , @mirka.breathing @following_nanshepherd @teambmc
