Hi!

I've spent many years both here in the UK & abroad having adventures in various places. 

Highlights include open canoe expeditions on the Swedish Lakes. Enjoying climbing Via Ferrata routes in Europe as well as walking & mountain biking in the Alps, Dolomites & Banff National Park in Canada to name a few. 

I Deliver for Alternative Adventure the Mountain Training Hill skills courses along with Lowland Leader & Hill and Moorland Leader awards, plus the National Navigation Award scheme at all levels from Bronze to Gold. I also have many years experience of delivering the NICAS & GCSE climbing schemes for indoor climbing too. 

I'm qualified in teaching, management and I'm a former Princes Trust Team leader, with over 20 years of experience of youth groups, DofE Assessing and Supervising. Adult & charity events, Team building & leadership training activities.

I love being outdoors doing any adventure but I'm an avid fan of Fat biking and bike packing,which allows me to go off on adventures all over the place on 2 wheels!

I hold the summer Mountain Leader Award, SPA , Climbing Wall Award, Climbing Wall Abseil Award as well as the British Cycling Mountain Bike leaders award and have completed my Winter ML training which I'm currently working towards assessment.
