Gilly’s passion is the outdoors, cold water and helping others find their place in both.
Originally from Scotland, Gilly takes her inspiration from her surroundings. She now lives in the Lake District and is very partial to barefoot wanderings, ice swims, beautiful trees and meditation.
Gilly worked in the outdoor industry for over 20 years, she’s a qualified swim coach, lifeguard, director of the Women’s Trad Festival ( a rock climbing community and festival ) and founder of Blue Mind Men – a men’s cold water swim club. Gilly is also a part of the team at Wonderful Wild Women in Cumbria, which aims to inspire others to get outside and the community welcomes anyone of any ability to give things a go be that running, biking, swimming or hiking.
As a cold water swim coach Gilly works with charities, individuals, corporate clients and businesses to help people access cold water safely for physical and mental wellbeing.
