  • #tbt take back to Mexico!! Who else finds pyramids intriguing & fascinating at the same time? This is the pyramid of the moon at Teotihuacan. I took this after climbing the steep stairs on the the pyramid of the sun. Teotihuacan was a bucketlist item for me & definitely met my expectations. It was so surreal seeing these pyramids. #mexico #teotihuacan #pyramidofthemoon #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #pyramids #historymemes #history #mexico🇲🇽 #mexico_amazing #bucketlist #archaeology #sanjuanteotihuacan #mexico_great_shots #ilovehistory
  • Do you ever stop for 5mins & appreciate life & the people around you? It has been 6 months since l was diagnosed with an incurable heart condition & my life was turned upside forever. This week l head back to hospital for my 3rd heart operation & hopefully my last. If l have learnt anything through all of this, it's not to take anything for granted. Also, how much l appreciate the people around me taking care of me, like my amazing husband, family, friends & nurses. Sometimes we don't thank them enough for just being a part of your life. #gifted Jacket & cap :- @regattaoutdoors #englishheritage #greatbritain #lovegreatbritain #england #heritage #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #hadrianswall #hadrianswallpath #northumberland_uk #londoner #northumberland #hike #trek #outdooradventures #adventuregirl #thegreatoutdoors
  • The only impossible journey is the one you never begin - Tony Robbins Life definitely shows us many roads some we take some we don't. Making us the people who we are today. Hiking along Hadrian's Wall is definitely one of the most interesting that l have done especially with all the forts along it. #hadrianswall #hadrianswallpath #lovegreatbritain #englishheritage #greatbritain #hiking #excitedtoexplore #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #history #discoverearth #adventuregirl #northumberland #northumberland_pics #northumberland_uk #archaeology
  • Who has ever been to Hadrian's Wall England before? Do you know that work by the Roman Emperor commenced on the wall as far back as AD 122 & it took a 15,000 men & 6 yes to build. It goes from nearly one side if England to the next & runs a total of 73 miles. You can hike the whole lot which would take around a week or do it in section.

  • Can you see the glacier at the bottom of the Aiguille du Dru mountain? It is called the Mer de Glace which the general can walk underneath through those dark blue holes. You can get there via the Montenvers train station in Chamonix & which is amazing train ride. When arrive you will be able to see how over time the glacier has shrunk & unfortunately will disappear one day. If, you are ever in Chamonix this is definitely a must do experience. #aiguilledumidi #lesdrus #aiguilledudru #chamonix #france #savoiemontblanc #neverstopexploring #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #alps #alpsmountains #adventuregirl #annecymountains #francemontagnes #travelblogger #ilovefrance #skiislife #snowboarding #climbing #natgeotravel #insta_global #naturelovers
  • Where is your happy place? Mine is skiing & having the slopes to your self. I may not be able to ski at the moment due to my recovery but l certainly can dream about the #skiseason. #TBT This was last spring skiing in Chamonix when the Musilac Mont Blanc music festival was on. You would ski in the morning & then dance the night away in your shorts all afternoon. Best of both worlds l say. #presstrip #montblanc #france #savoiemontblanc #neverstopexploring #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #ski #skiing #annecymountains #francemontagnes #adventuregirl #lifelooksbetter #adventureproof #gopro #snowboarding #skiislife #springskiing #musilac #musicfestival #skiingtrip #snowboard #alpsmountains #goprohero5
  • What a view right? Don't worry you to have fo be a skier to enjoy these amazing views of the French Alps. I'm on the observation deck at Anguille du Midi Chamonix, right next to Mont Blanc. You can take in some of the most amazing views ever while enjoying a hot chocolate. Those skiers you can see are preparing to head down one of the most famous routes Valley Blanche. It is also a very dangerous route over glicers that are unmarked, ungulided & not controlled. I would highly recommend a guide if you want to try it & you must be a confident skier or snowboarder because you don't want to get stuck. #aiguilledumidi #chamonix #montblanc #france #frenchalps #francemontagnes #savoiemontblanc #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #adventuregirl #skiing #annecymountains #snowboarding #travelblogger #ilovefrench #ilovefrance #skiislife #alpsmountains
  • Fun fact for you 🤗 That mansion you can see in the picture is called Apsley House & claims the adress of Number 1 London. Apparently it is because it was the first house you saw once you entered London (That bit I'm not sure on). There is rumours though that if you do post a letter ( if you still do it) to Number 1 London it will go there but who knows if that is true. The address now though has changed if you are wandering but they still keep that claim. It was pretty cool seeing on the #bustronome doubledecker tour. #gift #lovegreatbritain #england #heritage #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #englishheritage #greatbritain #sarcoidosis #pacemaker #defibrillator #travelblogger #mylondon #visitlondon #bustours #winelover #winetours #londoner #londondrinks
