Nic Hardy: The hiking adventure club queen

A short walk to the pub with friends was about the extent of IT programme manager Nic Hardy's adventures two years ago. Today she leads an adventure club of 100 people who go hiking, wild camping, rock climbing in the Lake District most weekends. She also bagged all 214 Wainwrights in a year! But how did she do it? What was the spark to make the change? What effect has it had on her life and finances? And why does she feel like the outdoors has given her another lease of life? * The Outdoors Fix is a podcast hosted and produced by Liv Bolton @liv_outsideuk
