Instructor Bio
John has worked in the great outdoors since 2004 in the UK and abroad, and has travelled extensively with amazing adventure experiences in many countries, and still counting. Due to his passion for travel and the great outdoors, John has begun pursuing his International Mountain Leader qualification, which encompasses all of his passions for travel in to one qualification. This qualification also spurred on his passion to know more about his surroundings, and is regularly found foraging, trying to ID a tree, flower or grass, not always successfully, going for walks and mini-adventures with his children Dora and Otto, and planning and dreaming up new adventures to bring the outdoors in to more peoples lives. The other passion that probably surpasses this is his climbing, he finds nothing more relaxing than adventuring on the sharp end of the rope. Climbing adventures have included crags across the UK, trips to Spain and Oman, and there are plenty more adventures yet to be had.
John has worked all over the UK, and with just as many different groups, from inner city London to the middle of no where in Scotland. The groups have been varied and fun, always provoking thought and adventure.
John is a Technical Advisor for a number of climbing centres across the UK, providing training, health and safety documentation and industry best practice advice. He is also registered with NICAS as a Technical Advisor and is able to provide climbing centres with support in the delivery of these awards.
