What better way to test out my new Pen y Fan from Afar route is by guiding it!
A big day out exploring the best parts of Bannau Brycheiniog, contact me if you want to do this route or anything else 😊

A great one day workshop by where we covered delivering safely, effective training techniques, scheme updates and methods of approach to make our training inclusive to all.
This is why I believe the Mountain Training Skills Courses are the best out there to introduce people to our UK Hills and Mountains.

It was a pleasure to support a night walk for the Neath Port Talbot Lost Peatlands Project and provide information on Dark Skies and the work of Bannau Brycheiniog Dark Skies.

Is this the funniest mountaineering book ever?
Must admit it had me in stitches whilst reading, any other nominations for funny mountaineering books?

Perhaps one of my toughest guiding days. But it was a pleasure to support the legend Gareth Thomas on his 10YFan challenge as part of his Tackle HIV Campaign.
The challenge is to climb Pen y Fan 10 times in 24 hours, we did it in 17hrs 20mins, averaging just under 1hr 45mins per up and down!
A big thanks to Chris Thomas of for helping me deliver this extraordinary event!

Two days but you couldn't get more contrasting weather, hot and sunny the first wet and miserable the second. Two days of navigation training for two keen boys who want to get out and explore our mountains.
