Sarah joined Adventure Geek back in November 2018, initially as a PAYG member. Since then the walking has become rather addictive. Sarah often walks with her little black Collie dog called Luna. Sarah is often called "mum" and not just by her children. She has a lovely nature and is very welcoming to newcomers.
