I have been Mountain Walking for nearly 40 years, since first being introduced to Outdoor Activities as a Scout. I have spent a considerable amount of time in the Hills and Mountains throughout the UK, as well as in Europe and Worldwide. My role as an Outdoor Activity Instructor and Trainer/Assessor has allowed me to introduce many people to the Mountains for the first time, as well as being able to help a great number of walkers with their skills and experience, particularly in terms of navigation skills.
I am passionate about the outdoors and am always keen to encourage others to share in the experiences that they will always remember.
