Muslim Hikers began as an Instagram account, created in September 2020 to tackle loneliness and isolation during the pandemic. I wanted the page to encourage an online community that would connect people who shared a love for the outdoors, while also trying to empower and inspire more people to get outside.
From my own experiences of hiking and adventuring, it was evident there was a real lack of representation for Muslim and South Asian communities. It was rare to see people who looked like me engaging in the outdoors, which can often foster feelings of alienation for minority communities who want to explore hiking as a hobby.
It was important for me to be a part of the solution and to try to bring greater diversity to the outdoors. The goal from the start was to help more people from our communities to appreciate the wellbeing benefits of getting outside and exploring the countryside.
Establishing a supportive community was integral to the birth of Muslim Hikers. But what began as an online community page quickly grew in recognition and appreciation, and people were soon asking for us to organise walking events.

Guilt-Free Meat? - Should the world stop eating meat to tackle the climate crisis? Chris Baraniuk meets an experimental farmer who says we don't all have to become vegetarians
Should the world stop eating meat to tackle the climate crisis? Chris Baraniuk meets an experimental farmer who says we don't all have to become vegetarians. Livestock farming around the world is facing scrutiny because of its greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, the sector contributes somewhere between 11.1% and 19.6% of total emissions. Meat production is roughly twice as bad as the production of plant-based food, according to some analyses. And beef is the worst of all. Study after study has suggested that, in order to curtail the devastating effects of climate change, we ought to shift to a diet containing less meat - or even go vegetarian or vegan.
Discover Cider Country - Explore mellow golden countryside, pedalling between medieval villages, historic inns and fruitful orchards, on a delightful Herefordshire Cider Circuit adventure with Julie Brominicks
Explore mellow golden countryside, pedalling between medieval villages, historic inns and fruitful orchards, on a delightful Herefordshire Cider Circuit adventure with Julie Brominicks. I'm cycling Porter's Perfection, one of three cider circuits developed for Visit Herefordshire over the past few years. Each showcases a section of this bucolic county's loveliest villages, pubs, orchards and cidermakers via lanes suited to bicycles - e-bikes for hill-averse cyclists like me. The idea is to allow you to appreciate the sights, sounds and smells of cider country while traversing roads never meant for modern cars. If you have dodgy knees, or are keen to indulge in the local adult apple juice as you go (remember, it's illegal to cycle while under the influence), Visit Herefordshire also promotes cider bus routes.
