"The mountain doesn't care about your rank, your job title or your background. It only cares whether you keep moving."

Mountain Leadership.

A Qualified Mountain Training Hill and Moorland leader He's now working through the UK's Mountain Leader pathway — formal training, assessments and hundreds of logged days on rough ground across Snowdonia (Eryri), the Clwydians, and beyond. Every adventure he runs is built on that foundation.
