Charlie Low

Charlie organised the first festival with Ellie in 2016. She works for an adventure travel company in Bristol as Head of Analytics & Insight, and is also a freelance outdoor & events photographer. When she isn't working, she loves sea cliffs, mountains, & sport climbing in the sunshine. She is currently converting a big yellow Sprinter, Ringo, into a mobile climbing home (@climbingvan).

Ellie Fuller

Ellie hatched the idea for Women’s Trad Festival while climbing at Gogarth on the Women’s International Meet. She is currently studying a masters in Nature-Based Education at Sheffield Hallam and is completing her Forest School Leader Training. She works an instructor at the Foundry, is a bushcraft & nature-connection facilitator, and also works as a freelance writer in the outdoor industry. In her freetime, Ellie loves hunting out adventurous trad climbs on sea-cliffs and mountains, spending time in the woods, and swimming naked in any lakes she can find.

Gilly has been part of the WTF team since its 2nd year. She has worked in the outdoor industry for over 20 years, and is now a freelance artist and illustrator alongside working for DMM Climbing. She also does a range of creative, film and consultant work in the outdoor industry and beyond around climbing and wild swimming.
