I first got into mountaineering when I was in the Army, but had always loved the outdoors even from an early age. I then joined the Army Cadet Force in 2001 & my friend in that organisation soon got me walking with the Adventure Training team. I did my Walking Group Leader Award (WGL) in 2002 & I will never forget the elation of being told that I had passed. I'm sure it kept me awake during the drive home as I kept repeating to myself that "I can lead groups!!!". However I was not content with leaving it there & was quickly pushing for my Summer Mountain Leader Award (ML). I passed this with relative ease as I had been out at least once a week to ensure I passed (as they say in the Army, train hard, fight easy). My next step is the Winter Mountain Leader Award (MLW). I became a Climbing Wall Instructor (CWI) & I have also passed the Rock Climbing Instructor Award (RCI). With my Summer ML I have been lucky to work in some beautiful places both in the UK and abroad in Africa, India, Peru and many other places.
All in all, I can honestly say I love every minute of being in the hills (regardless of the weather) & the fact that I am an instructor means I can pass my knowledge & enthusiasm to other people. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction when I lead people up a mountain for the very first time in the hope that they too will catch the mountaineering bug. I'm also a provider for the Mountain Training Hill & Mountain Skills courses, Lowland Leader Award and the Expedition Skills Module as well as the new Rock Skills courses. I am also a Outdoor Discovery Award (ODA) Provider for the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS)

Jason has been working in the mountain environment for a number of years now and I have worked alongside him several times a year for the last 6 years. He develops good working relationships with groups and is keen to pass on skills rather than simply lead people on a walk. He has developed a sound general sense of risk and tries to adjust his plans to take account of people's abilities and limitations.

I have worked with Jason on numerous occasions over the last 7 years. Most of this has been with children of secondary school age, with whom he is able to strike a good balance between being easy going and approachable, while being prepared to take on a more commanding role when appropriate. We have led groups together in the mountains, where again he has proved easy to work with as a colleague and effective as a group leader and instructor. He has developed a good understanding of the mountain environment and is both keen and engaging when sharing this understanding with others. From my experience of Jason, I would happily recommend his approval as a Mountain Training Approved Activity Provider. Martin Digby 7th October 2016

Jason is an able provider who has delivered a variety of Hill Skills Courses for my students from Oswestry School. In all cases he has delivered an enjoyable for the students pitched at the right level, depending on his audience, whilst also meeting the course requirements. He has recently applied to become an MTAAP and I would endorse this application, stating that I feel he has the skills and manner appropriate for delivering in this role at the level indicated. This reference is for that application on the 20/10/16.

Jason has been an enthusiast in the outdoors since I have known him, he is a keen mountaineer both summer and winter. We have been on several winter and summer expeditions together into the Scottish mountains, the Lake district and North Wales. Jason works well with school groups and has an ability to relate to any age group. He has an easy going nature but can also react to situations in a more authoritarian way when required. He has experience of working on 5 day mountaineering courses with the Army Cadet Force and CCF. He also has experience of supervising and training D of E groups. I know Jason has a love of the outdoors and believe he will pass that experience on to his groups in the future.
