Morven Harrower, 52 from Crieff in Perth and Kinross, took a solo trip to Iceland in 2023 to take part in The MoonWalk Iceland with cancer charity Walk the Walk:

“Turning 50 was the perfect excuse to explore Iceland on my own, but I never felt alone. Most of the team met for the first time at Heathrow and The MoonWalk Iceland brought us all together, women of all ages and backgrounds, all walking under the midnight sun for an incredible cause. It was truly magical – from exploring volcanic landscapes to witnessing humpback whales. If you’re a solo woman looking for an unforgettable adventure, just do it!”
