Will Renwick

OM editor Will Renwick loves a bit of Welsh wandering. He's walked every national trail within the country, he's walked right around its entire perimeter and last year he became the first person to run up all of its 188 mountains in a 550-mile solo journey. In his spare time, Will is the President of Ramblers Cymru and is a trustee of the Cambrian Way walking trail.
