A lifetime of enjoying the outdoors, both in the UK and overseas,encompasses over fifteen years full time professional experience: managing a large Lake District Christian Conference/Outdoor Activity Centre; lecturing in Outdoor Education at Colleges; freelance instruction with young people, adults, families; schools and businesses. We are both passionate about introducing & progressing people, from all walks of life, to truly adventurous outdoor activity.

We are part of the leadership team at Elim Community Church Carlisle & it is our hope that the Christian journey we are on, underpins and adds a different dimension to the work we undertake.
