I've always had a passion for the outdoors from family walks in the Dales as a child I was inspired to learn more and to seek out new adventures. When I was 14 I got the chance to complete the outward bound classic diploma at Ullswater and the experience accelerated my drive for all things outdoor ed. I have built up my experience both personally and professionally and now as an adult much of my time is spent in the hills and landscapes of the Dales, Moors and Lakes. As a keen hiker and fell runner I have explored many of these areas and now lead and train large groups on the Duke of Edinburgh Award through school as well as delivering the Level 3 BEL award.
