What is OutdoorHer?
This resource is for everyone who is looking to learn more about managing their periods, menopause and toileting when out in the wild and other such health matters when in the outdoors, aimed at participants to leaders and allies. It has been created with inclusion in mind and we hope that it helps to support and improve adventures for all, speaking to a range of issues that have often been overlooked.
Inspired by conversations with walkers, climbers and leaders, the BMC and Mountain Training have created some simple ‘how-to’ guides that go through these topics and more.

Podcast Episode: Plus sizes and Good Kit
In this episode of Finding Our Way, we sit down with Steph Wetherell, co-founder of Every Body Outdoors, a group campaigning for better representation, clothing and gear for larger and plus-sized bodies in the UK outdoors. We talk about sizest attitudes, why seeing plus size people represented by brands and media is so important, and how clothes and kit can be more inclusive.
