“As a teenager I was introduced to outdoor rock climbing by a school friend. We spent many happy weekends and summer holidays playing at the crags in Derbyshire and Staffordshire before our first big camping trip to North Wales. Time spent outdoors, being free and adventurous on our own were some of my fondest childhood memories.
These experiences have influenced huge parts of my life since then: my choice of university, past-times, places I’ve lived and careers I have since had and wouldn’t change it for the world.
I’m thrilled to be part of the Outdoor Guide because I’d love to help contribute to someone else’s outdoor memories in the hope that one day, they’ll look back on their time exploring and remember the fun they had, just like I do.”
