Jerry Gillahm

Growing up in north west England, Jerry has spent a lifetime exploring the mountains and wild places of the UK. After more than a decade living abroad—counting penguins and teaching snowshoeing—he returned to the Lake District to live and work, reconnecting with the fells and landscapes that first inspired his love of the outdoors.

Whether hiking, fell running, mountain biking, or reading about the area’s fascinating history, Jerry is happiest outdoors and continually seeks out new adventures across the Lakes and its surroundings. Having completed all 214 Wainwrights and now training for an attempt at the Bob Graham Round, he thrives on both the challenge and joy found in the hills.

With a background in conservation and zoology, Jerry is passionate about sharing the outdoors, fostering curiosity and respect for the region’s wildlife and natural environment while championing the physical and mental health benefits that mountain experiences offer. His belief that the outdoors should be accessible to everyone guides his approach, ensuring those who join him discover the same sense of freedom and wonder that have shaped his journey
