I have been working with Cadets on and off, as a Level 2 coach with the BCU and also teaching for the past 30 years. I have combined these outdoor activities, and helping with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme in a variety of schools. Although still teaching I have recently become involved with the Cadets again. I live with my family in Kent on the South East fringes of London. I have worked with challenging young teenagers in the south of London and have had the privilege of helping to set up and introduce these young adults to the outdoors through their involvement with the Duke of Edinburgh's award. Next Project is taking groups of Gold Expedition training and assessment to the Brecon Beacons. My own projects include improving my climbing and obtaining the Indoor climbing award. My next personal target is to get up to Scotland more often and enjoy the landscape, both high and low!
