Introducing... Jess

Having spent years spending as much time abroad as possible, walking in the mountains and long-distance cycling, I’ve discovered how lovely the UK is – whatever the weather!

Jess loves cycling and enjoys getting away from the crowds in the Lake District.

Top skills:
• Supportive and encouraging with helpful comments e.g. “5 minutes and round the next corner”, “it gets flatter in a minute”, “it won’t rain ALL day”
• Ability to drink coffee until it comes out of her ears (don’t worry, we’ve never actually seen this happen!)
• Desire to make sure everyone is happy – 100% fact!

St. Sunday Crag in the Lake District – all the views and craggy fun, without the crowds of nearby Helvellyn. Any cycle ride that runs next to water, whether that be along canal towpaths or around lakes and reservoirs – there’s just something about it!
