What is your favourite part of being a safety team member? - I am lucky to have had the enjoyment of the mountains for many years, it is a privilege to introduce them to others

I dislike it when - I reach the top of a climb

I like it when - I can enjoy my post walk pint

What advice would you give to someone training for a trek? - Build it slowly, but don't underestimate how much more enjoyable it is when you are fitter

Our UK treks and challenges couldn’t go ahead without our invaluable safety team and qualified mountain leaders. Each and every one of them retain expert knowledge, understanding and a passion for outdoor pursuits and the mountains we climb. They are on hand to ensure the wellbeing of our participants, navigating them through each trek safely and providing words of encouragement to help everyone complete their challenge.
