I've always enjoyed outdoor adventure, so when my surgeon said he was only prepared to attempt a 50:50 cancer surgery due to my fitness and strength, I knew my lifestyle was supporting me in some way. I feel my 2nd chance mission is to use my experience to encourage and support others who want to step into their most adventurous life! For some that might be a first ever camping trip, or it might b
e a big overseas adventure in a totally different environment and culture. Whatever adventure means to you, it is not only fun and a source of many happy memories, but the process naturally increases a person's physical and mental resilience with which to better face life's inevitable challenges. I've enjoyed 4 decades of walking, climbing and travelling, 20 of them as an instructor and along the way have made all the mistakes you want to avoid! Now I want to share what I know so people can start adventuring without having to spend years learning how. In 2024 I will be providing coaching in 3 areas:
- Fitness for trekking and endurance
- Outdoor Skills
- Travel Safety and Worst-Case Survival
Together "Let's Get Ready For Adventure!"
