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 in recent times he became the first person to run up all of its 188 mountains in a 550-mile solo journey. Will is a former president of Ramblers Cymru and is a trustee of the Cambrian Way walking trail. He's also served on some of the major outdoor industry awards juries, helping to select the winners of the ISPO Awards, Scandinavian Outdoor Award and Outdoor Industries Association awards.
