I started my working life as a fireman...I have always sought out adventure!!
Later I became a teacher in secondary schools and quickly got involved with the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. In order to oversee this work I took and passed the summer and winter Mountain Leader Awards. I used these skills to take school groups all over Europe - each year we did a big trek....Tour of Mont Blanc; Pyrenean High Level Route; Corsican High Level Route (GR20) and Alta Via 1 and 2 in the Dolomites, to name a few. At this time whilst walking and backpacking every weekend I started to develop a passion for Rock Climbing which has become all consuming. In the 1990's I passed the MIA and the MIC qualifications and have used these to train and develop generations of climbers. I love the sport as much as the day i started and still have a massive ticklist to work through!
"Too many guidebooks and too little time!"
I love running MTE courses in rock climbing skills and look forward to the new Rock skills development in 2019.
Please give me a ring if you think I can help you.
