She also competed in World Championships in four different sports: cross-country skiing, ski orienteering, orienteering and TR EC (orienteering on horseback).

She was also a highly accomplished mountain runner too, winning many of Britain’s most prestigious fell races including the Ben Nevis Race – 14k m with 1,340m of ascent – which she won seven times.

One of her brothers, Donald Evans, won gold for Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Rowing Championships, bronze for Great Britain at the World University Rowing Championships and held an indoor rowing world record between 2016 and 2018. Neah’s boyfriend is the cyclist Jonathan Wale.
