Growing up in the Peak District and having never travelled further than the Lake District I had never had the experience of standing beneath a mountain that is above 1000 meters. In July 2018 me and Poppy went to Chamonix and I will never forget the feeling of hiking across the mountains for the first time. It instilled in me a reminder that the outdoors is where I am happiest, even if I am sad. It heals, soothes, softens and offers a constant shoulder to lean on when you feel lost. Chamonix will hold a place in my heart forever.
