ALL ABOUT ABBIE

Abbie Barnes launched her YouTube channel Spend

More Time in the WILD some 10 years ago, and her blend of beautiful camerawork, friendly conversation and dual focus on mental health and conservation has seen the channel gather over 50,000 loyal subscribers. Having suffered mental health difficulties for most of her life (including, unflinchingly, on camera), she is passionate about helping others to use walking as a way of finding peace and positivity even when times are hardest. She also runs group walks, frequently based around her home turf in south-west England but also in national parks and other beautiful places around Britain. As well as on YouTube, you can find Abbie on Instagram via abbiebarneswild and through her website, spendmoretimeinthewild.co.uk – which includes booking details for future group walks.
