Work:
The common thread in all the work that I'm lucky enough to spend my time doing is the teaching of mountaineering skills to others and guiding people in all conditions, all year round. I consider myself to be good at understanding what stage people are at in their exploration of the outdoors and am capable of working out effective ways to get them to where they want to be.
I live in the Peak District where I run my company, Adventure Expeditions, which specialises in providing high quality private courses, guiding, Duke of Edinburgh Awards and outdoor activities. I also work training and assessing mountain leaders and climbing instructors and provide climbing courses and guided climbing, walking and scrambling throughout the summer.
In winter I spend my time running winter skills courses, guided ice climbing, navigation courses and generally enjoying being out in the Scottish mountains, normally in the Cairngorms or Glen Coe areas.
Play:
What it's all about! I got into the work through a love of the activities, through making plenty of the good old fashioned mistakes and even inventing a few new ones...
I love long distance walking, running and all forms of climbing (apart from aid-climbing!). I strive to push myself to go that little bit further in all the strange activities we get up to in the mountains. I'm always planning the next challenge - Next on the horizon is the Cassin Route on the Piz Badille in Switzerland, but this will be the third time of heading out with this route in mind!... Third time lucky maybe? Then Winter's on the horizon and I've got my eye on Central Grooves in Stob Coire nan Lochan and White Magic in Sneachda, amongst many other classics I'm yet to do, if psychological and climatic conditions are favourable!
If you have a goal in mind and there's adventure involved I believe I have some good skills, and plenty of enthusiasm, to help you along the way.
