About

Nicola Whitbread is a U.K.-based long-distance walker and cheerful soul, slowly exploring the rich variety of trails this country has to offer. She loves the challenge of solo adventures, being responsible for her safety, navigation, and problem-solving, and the simple bliss of reading a book in her tent after a long day of hiking.

Nicola works a 9-5 but makes full use of national holidays and annual leave, sometimes splitting a longer trail into section hikes and completing over a few weekends. She finds confidence, freedom, and peace on the trail and it is very much her happy place.
