Will Renwick

In 2021, Will made national news after completing a 500-mile run across Wales, linking all 188 of its mountain tops along the way. This, Will says, was motivated by a desire to explore more of his country and to support our cause here at Mind Over Mountains. 

As you’ve probably already surmised, Will is someone who likes big journeys – usually involving a tent. He’s walked all of the main long-distance trails of Wales, including the entire Wales Coast Path and the Cambrian Way. And when he’s not out exploring Wales, he’s writing about it for publications such asThe Great Outdoors, Ellis Brigham’s Explore magazine, and Outdoors Magic. His book, Peak Bagging Wales, is available from spring 2026.

"While a lot of my adventures have lasted multiple weeks, I'm a huge advocate of the benefits of just giving yourself short moments to be out in nature," said Will. "This belief was totally reinforced when I joined one of Mind Over Mountains' retreats in North Wales. It was a weekend that was so good for the soul – and it made me realise that the team at Mind Over Mountains really are onto something."
