Episode #4 says hello to Kate Worthington. In 2008 Kate and her husband Ross* founded the outdoor activities company RAW Adventures. Based beneath the shadow of Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa they’ve spent the past decade-plus helping people discover the challenges, beauty, and excitement of the North Walian hills.

When not leading clients up Britain’s busiest mountain, orchestrating festival-sized events, or helping people achieve ambitions ranging from the Duke of Edinburgh Award to Winter Mountain Skills courses… Kate likes to relax by running marathon distance races across peaks and through heather and bog. And work on her wilderness medical skills. And raise her daughter. And appear on this podcast. How did she find the time…?
