Julie Widowson

Julie lives close to the Peak District and discovered her love for adventure in her early twenties, beginning with a novice attempt at the Pennine Way. Since then, she has completed numerous long-distance challenges across the UK, Africa, and the Himalayas, exploring beautiful landscapes and immersing herself in nature.

Julie finds happiness and peace in the outdoors and aims to inspire others to feel the same. She brings her expertise as a Mountain Leader to groups who want to build confidence in the hills or take on more technical challenges.

Recently, Julie has joined the Winter and Summer Spine Race as a volunteer on the Safety Team. The event sees runners testing themselves to run 268 miles along the Pennine Way within a week, and Julie’s skills help ensure everyone stays safe and enjoys the adventure, regardless of the outcome.

Julie is dedicated to supporting others, providing a safe and encouraging environment for anyone who wants to experience the freedom and joy of the Great Outdoors.
