Radical rest: revolutionary woman
Ella Foote meets Evie Muir – activist, author and founder of Peaks of Colour, a nature-for-healing community group
Do we need special clubs, groups and communities for different members of society in the outdoors? This was one of the first things that Evie Muir and I started discussing when we met for a swim in the Peak District, near her home in Sheffield. I had just finished a hiking weekend with a group of plus-size women and I had been challenged by a friend why there was a need for such a group.
