This is a new venture for me. After leading outdoor educational trips for 15 years, I feel that it is time for me to explore more and offer wider opportunities beyond the classroom. Examples of intrepid adventures I have facilitated and/or been part of include: North Wales coast and country outdoor education sites of special scientific interest, from shore studies to waterfall hikes, kayak introductions, residential camps in Cheshire, Portugal and cultural Chateaux stays in Northern France. Mulu National Park, Borneo hiking and cultural tour weekends, mountain bike challenges up to 100km of cross country, lake and cabin stays in Germany and Norway, and week-long international outdoor education programmes without walls. Most of my experience comes from the diverse primary education establishments I have worked in and the family and friend adventures i have created, all of which helped me to be thorough and meaningful with my planning, delivery and evaluations. Furthermore, I have travelled a lot with my young family. So I truly understand the importance of looking after one another.

I love paddling with my dad. I like lying on the board and searching for treasures in the sky and under water.

I had an Intro session with Andrew today. From get go he was confident yet nurturing to ensure we felt safe and relaxed. His boards and equipment are in excellent condition & with his little pointers and affirmative words, we were quickly on our feet and exploring the area!
Thank you Andrew, for an incredible experience!

I had an amazing time with a group of families, hiking through caves, rivers, balancing over tree top rope courses and meeting local tribes. We crammed in so much and I've never laughed and eaten so much in my life before. What a weekend! I will never forget it. Thank you so much Mr. S!

Epic adventure in the jungle. Zip lining and hiking for sunset was quite scary but I am so proud that I did it.

My dad never stops looking for adventures. He even took me and my friends white water rafting down a crocodile river in Brunei. It was amazing!

Thanks to Andy @ Paddlesup coaching, phenomenal first time experience, learning the foundations to paddle boarding. Hopefully we will be able to get back again in the near future and do it all over again.

Building confidence and courage with youthful, fun, outdoor activity.
One of the best things I have ever done. I was surprised that I could stand up on my first session. I want to do it again!
