Rosie, 25, a fell runner, climber, wild swimmer and all-round mountain lover from the Lake District in the UK is currently running to Mongolia! While running, she’s searching for stories about new ways of living and working while meeting our needs in a time of climate crisis.   "I will also cross as many mountain ranges and areas of wilderness, remoteness and natural beauty as I can”   Rosie started her solo and self supported run on the 17th August 2019. Along the way, Rosie will be meeting with people from projects who are creating a new, and a more sustainable way of living, and who are dedicated to tackling the climate crisis and its related issues. Rosie will share these stories through her website.   "By exploring the climate crisis and it’s solutions through a story of adventure, I aim to explore these issues in a fresh and personal way."   Show notes Who is Rosie Starting on the 17th August Being stuck in Kosovo  Where the idea for the run came from  Looking for a job after university Keeping the plan very vague and loose Moving the start date from October to August The planning and preparation Trying to be flexible with the route Creating her own website  Contacting brands for sponsorship Trying to get local media interested Planning the first couple of weeks of the route Paying for the challenge Deciding to set up a Go Fund Me account Having a budget of £50 per week… Problems with sticking to the budget Only planning to run for 1 year….
