Wendy Dodds has featured in a few of our blog posts over the last year. In July 2017 she booked some time with Chris, hoping to climbing the Matterhorn. In January 2018 we interviewed here for our Who Needs A Mountain Guide? series, and she also got a mention in last week’s blog post, Don’t You Just Love It When a Plan Works Out? This summer she booked a ten day slot with nine guided days, with the aim of revisiting her aim of climbing the Matterhorn, after her hopes were dashed in 2017 by an injury during the preparation days. Oh, and maybe Mont Blanc as a bonus - not a bad aim for a woman in her 60's. This is Wendy’s account of the two summits in her own words.

I get to work with people of all ages and from many different backgrounds, but I don't often get to work with a living legend. Wendy Dodds is very well known as a fell runner, and also in the world of sports medicine.
