Anna Humphries

Meet Anna Humphries – British Adventurer, Speaker, Qualified Mountaineer, Scout Leader & Bear Grylls survival instructor!

Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?

I’m Anna and I run a company called Mountain Girl taking people on all sorts of adventures to bring out their inner child and remind them that life is for playing outside! I also work for Bear Grylls and get to travel all over the world! If I’m inside for longer than an hour you’ll find me straight back outside again!

What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?

Anna’s Favourite Hiking Route – Glyderau Range and Tryfan, Eryri National Park

One of my favourite routes is the Glyderau range and Tryfan taking in my favourite mountain and descending in the most beautiful lake of Llyn Idwal ever! It’s a great wild swim after a hot hike!
