Growing up in Lancashire I was introduced to mountains in the Lakes from an early age and still have fond memories of scaling Stickle Pike on family holidays. This enjoyment of walking and the mountains continued through Scouts where I learned the skills to enable me to enjoy the hills on my own before becoming a Leader, Instructor and Permit Assessor. Through Scouts I was also introduced to rock climbing and further developed my skills to climb independently before becoming an Instructor. I continue to enjoy the mountains walking, climbing and mountain biking. Holding the Mountain Leader and Rock Climbing Instructor awards enables me to enjoy sharing this passion with others.
I have started my own company, Lodestar Adventure, offering walking, climbing, trail running and mountain biking adventures in and around Bath and throughout the UK.
