Nic Hardy, known as @adventurer.nic to her Instagram followers, led 19 friends up seven Wainwrights in the Lake District in May 2018.
It was a beautiful, sunny day. They climbed almost 4,000ft and walked nine miles with views over Buttermere and Crummock Water. In the photos from the hike they all looked like they had been friends for years.
But only a few months earlier, they had been total strangers.
