About me 

Ed Sankey, is an Outdoor Education Tutor / Instructor based in Liverpool.

After a few seasons of Mountain Bike Racing (cross country and downhill) I decided I would like to work towards achieving N.G.B Qualifications. I built up my experience working in Outdoor Activity Centres in France, Spain and in Ireland and then went on to study Outdoor and Environmental Education at John Moores University gaining BSc Hons.

His next step on the MTA qualification ladder will be the SMLT Winter Mountain Leader Award Training, building on the awards he currently holds. . Ed has been working for Outdoor Activities Service and Alternative Adventure for over 15 years now.
