About

Hello and Welcome

My Aim

Train – Educate – Inspire – Develop

Being a small and focused business, my aim is to give you the flexibility and personal approach to achieve your personal aspirations or company objectives. 

Linked to this is my desire in enabling others to develop the confidence and skills to pursue their own adventures, at their own pace, and for their own purpose. 

I have been exploring, working and having adventures in the outdoors for over 40 years. I am based in North Wales and run a wider range of outdoor courses, and offer my outdoor activity safety services both locally and UK wide.

Cliché I know, but my work in the outdoors is really varied. I enjoy coaching supporting and guiding people within a wide range of outdoor settings, as well as assisting organisations in training and assessing staff – ensuring they are HSE compliant. Being able to invest my time for people and organisations is what I enjoy the most in my work. So, if you have passion to develop your skills or company in some way, or just want an adventure time out please do get in touch.

My Interests

I am a mega keen climber, caver and mine explorer, having been climbing for over 40 years and caving for over 25.   My desire for adventure has taken me to a variety of challenging and beautiful places across the world, including sea kayaking and road cycling. I hope to share my passion for climbing, the mountains and caving  by giving you inspirational and memorable days out on the crag, underground, or in the hills – summer or winter – rain or shine!

I am one of only a handful of instructors within the UK that hold both the WMCI (Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor) and the CIC (Caving Instructor Certificate) These are both the highest awards in their respective discipline and reflects my high level of commitment to working at the highest level of technical skills and competence as an outdoor professional.

My breadth of other outdoor qualifications, and associated professional and personal experiences, means I can cater for a wide breadth of activities at a wide range of levels, tailoring unique adventures for all.
