Chartered Geographer

Award-Winning Outdoor Educator
42 Years: 1968-2010
I work as a specialist educator and trainer, and a researcher into accidents on educational and youth organisation visits which has resulted in keeping and maintaining the UK's only Register covering 34 years. I act as a consultant and adviser to schools and industry on training and education outside the classroom, spending as much time working in a one-to-one situation as with groups. I also have a technical role as an expedition leader and wilderness skills instructor. I was a 'classrom teacher' for 31 years, now Director & Chief Instructor for my own outdoor education and training company based in Leigh on Sea in Essex, working with nearly 50 schools.
I care passionately about education and its ability to produce - given the right climate - a 'fully-orbed' and well rounded person. My philosophy of education can be gleaned from the articles on this website; from my leading of teams - whether Senior Management Teams in schools, Instructors in my company, or clients in some of the largest corporations I evangelise the concept of 'capturing' youth, rebuilding, or at least re-envisioning young people so as to provide them with the tools to become able citizens.
