for those who love the outdoors

Nicky Chisholm

My very first adventure was on a Tall Ship called The Sir Winston Churchill when I had just turned 18.

I have loved adventures ever since. Although I still get seasick 30 years on!

I would describe myself as an everyday adventurer. I try to squeeze adventure into my every day, from walks, swims, and runs to films, podcasts, and books. I am always on the lookout for communities to connect with and adventures to be found.

I have just hit 50, and my adventure journey has changed so many times over the years. From a 20-year-old canoeing and sailing instructor to a Mum with young children teaching them to embrace the outdoors through camping, building dens, and cooking on open fires, to a mum of young teens when we surfed, coast-steered, climbed Ben Nevis, and swam in the North Sea!

My boys are in their late teens now and are slowly flying the nest. I find myself here now, ready to embrace the next stage of my adventure journey.

Embracing my newfound freedom and loving being outside, I am ready to do some exploring!

My adventure journey has included Moonwalks, marathon walks along Hadrian's Wall and the South Coast, firewalks, abseiling down castles, coast steering, a cross-country ski marathon in the Arctic Circle, a wing walk, and training in an Environmental Cold Chamber at the University of Sussex at minus 20!

I have just returned from running a half marathon in Greenland—the biggest and most extreme event I have ever participated in. This Arctic adventure has definitely left me with a fire in my soul for more adventures.

In the last year, I have been trekking in Peru, visiting the Amazon Rainforest, camping at -10 in Sweden, and falling in love with cross-country skiing. I have also organised a mega sea swim for over 500 open-water swimmers to celebrate International Women's Day and am now an official Surfers Against Sewage Rep for Brighton.

This year, I am very proud to have launched the UK's first #makingwaves campaign to attract more women to Adventure.
