Lorna McBride

Mini Bio

Despite growing up in Cambridgeshire, the UK’s flattest county, I have always loved being in the mountains. I moved north to study History at Durham University, and spent three years making the most of my new location. I grew well acquainted with the journey west to the Lake District as I worked on ticking off all the Wainwrights.

After graduating, I relocated to Cumbria in search of opportunities in the outdoor and travel industries. I spend my free time exploring all the incredible places the UK has to offer. I am passionate about facilitating that feeling of exploration and adventure for others, and feel fortunate to get the opportunity to do that in my work.

Favourite Place to Play

I love to get stuck into a wide range of outdoor hobbies: climbing, running, wild swimming, camping, hiking…the list goes on! I feel very lucky to live on the edge of the Lake District, where all my favourite activities are within easy reach.

For longer trips, you can’t beat the Northwest Highlands. Torridon and Skye are particular favourites of mine.
