Vici Fairhurst: How a trip to Snowdon with 30 teens and staff changed her life

Vici Fairhurst is a hiker who lives in Manchester and works with 16-19 year olds in care. She discovered a love of hiking in a rather daunting and unusual way. Last year Vici’s colleague set her a huge challenge: to get 30 teens in care and staff, with little or no hiking experience, to the top of Snowdon. That trip sparked an ‘addiction to hiking’, as she puts it, and it’s had a huge impact on her life. Vici is also a member of the Black Girls Hike walking group based in the Greater Manchester area.
