Mountaineer / Author
I am a mountaineer, caver and mine enthusiast. I have worked in the outdoors all my life as an instructor, trainer and assessor, adventure travel organiser and leader of many caving and mountaineering expeditions. Although I am now retired, I maintain my interest in the outdoors and compliment this by writing guides for walkers. Having explored many of the slate mines both below and above ground, my most recent book describes walks to the slate mines and quarries in Snowdonia to discover their heritage. I am a fervent believer that the slate regions should be conserved and protected for future generations to experience what once was.
