An advertising project director decided to give up her 15-year career in the concrete jungle to move to the North Wales wilderness to reconnect with nature.
Sian Sykes was in her early 30s and a project director for advertising firm J. Walter Thompson (now Wunderman Thompson) when she decided to change her life.
