Ollies Moving Mountains

Ollie’s Moving Mountains

You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Ollie’s Moving Mountains is a brand-new walking project inspired by the extraordinary journey of Ollie- the first person to walk the entire length of the Andes Mountains, across seven countries and over 13,500 km. His journey was a personal mission to explore the connection between the outdoors and mental health, and to share the impact that walking in nature had on his own wellbeing.

Now, Ollie is bringing that experience home- and inviting others to walk with him.

The First Step: Pen y Fan

We’re launching Ollie’s Moving Mountains with our first group walk up Pen y Fan, led by Ollie and qualified outdoor guide Simon Chaplin. This walk is in honour of Ollie’s journey and the powerful role nature played in supporting his mental health.

Along the route, Ollie will share stories from his Andes expedition- the highs, the lows, and the moments that changed everything. This isn’t just a hike; it’s an opportunity to connect, reflect, and walk together toward something better.

You’ll Never Walk Alone.

This is more than a walk.

It’s the beginning of something powerful.

This is Ollie’s Moving Mountains.
