I have enjoyed the outdoors since I was about 5 years old when my dad used to take me map reading on Dartmoor. This then evolved into completing a btec course in outdoor education at the age of 16 followed by 10 years in the Royal Marines. Since leaving the royal marines I have gained rock climbing qualifications, mountaineering qualifications and mountain biking qualifications. I now teach in a further education college showing young adults the magic of the outdoors
