Let me introduce myself - I am Retro Rambler (a.k.a. Peggy-Sue), a trail‑lover, challenge‑seeker, and enthusiastic explorer of every path from Wiltshire to the wildest corners of the world. Walking isn’t just something I do; it’s the heartbeat of my adventures, and I love opening those adventures to anyone who wants to join me.

Since 2020, I’ve taken part in multiple Ultra Challenges and LDW events, pushing my limits, discovering new landscapes, and raising money for charity with every mile. In August 2025, I completed five sections of the Great Wall of China with Action Challenge - an unforgettable journey that deepened my love for long‑distance trekking and global adventure.

And now, the next chapter is calling. I’m currently in training for my biggest adventure yet: hiking the Inca Trail from Cusco to Machu Picchu in early June 2028, followed by a breath-taking day excursion to the Rainbow Mountains. Every walk I lead, every mile I cover, and every challenge I take on is part of the journey toward that incredible goal.

What began as personal training for these big challenges has grown into a friendly, inclusive walking community. My group, Retro Ramblers, has brought people together, boosted confidence, and inspired others to get outdoors - something I’m incredibly proud to say led to me being nominated for, and winning, a Pride of Swindon Award for the positive impact my walks have on participants’ health and wellbeing.

Every walk I host is an adventure in its own right: new scenery, new stories, new friendships. Whether you’re building fitness, supporting your wellbeing, or simply craving a fun escape into nature, you’re welcome to lace up and join the journey. Expect encouragement, achievable challenges, and that brilliant “I did it!” feeling at the finish.
