Mini Bio

From an early age, I was introduced to the great outdoors, having grown up near the beach in Cornwall and later near Dartmoor in Devon, I was forever coaxed out, sometimes against my will. Alongside a growing love for outdoor adventure, I developed 20 years experience supporting various age groups experiencing mental health difficulties and in various capacities. However, 10 years ago, I was ready for a change and chose to move to the Lake District. I am a qualified mountain leader and rock climbing instructor, and my time is often spent guiding people in the Lakeland fells, scrambling in the ghylls or introducing people to the wonderful sport of rock climbing. I know the Lake District particularly well, though I have walked and climbed in various places in Scotland and Wales as well as other areas of the UK.

While much of my work experience has been in the UK, I have had the fortune of supporting and leading groups of youngsters on expeditions in various countries outside of Europe, including Peru, Eswatini and Vietnam.

In future, I look forward to continuing to share my love for adventure with those I have the privilege of meeting and share the wonderful ways we can interact with and journey through the beautiful parts of this Island we call home.

Favourite Place to Play

Mainly down in the Langdale Valley in the Lake District, walking, climbing, scrambling and a dip in the tarns.
