Ruth Hamilton
Ruth runs T3's Outdoors editor (think camping, hiking and adventure sports) as well as running the site's Wellness channel (covering sleep, relaxation, yoga and general wellbeing). Due to some unfortunate timing, she joined the T3 team just as COVID-19 'joined' the UK, which means she hasn't managed to get to many industry events IRL yet – although she has enjoyed seeing the rest of the UK get as on board with camping and general outdoorsing as she is. She has also tested more mattresses than her small flat can handle, and will talk at length about them to anyone who'll listen.
