I’ve worked as a teacher (10yrs), Head of Adventure Learning and Senior Leader for the British Exploring Society.
As a qualified Winter Mountain Leader, Paddlesport Leader and Bushcraft Instructor, I’ve led hundreds of children - and adults - up mountains and down rivers.
My Masters (MA) thesis explored the impact of survival nights on students at risk of exclusion – and inspired me to work full time in the outdoor sector.
I am Enhanced DBS checked and hold Safeguarding and First Aid certificates.
With 6 expeditions in the Amazon jungle, I like to share stories and a passion for wild places – my adventure films.
My life time project is to descend every long(ish) river in the UK - so far I’ve paddled the River Thames, Cherwell, Usk, Wye, Tay, Wey, Avon, Clyde, Eden, Spey, Ness, Leven - next up the River Lune (in Cumbria).
