With over 20 years experience of working in outdoor education centres, including 'White Hall' Derbyshire LEA in the mid to late 1980's - see 'climbing lessons' by Pete McDonald for some back ground on this period at the centre. After this foundation I moved to 'Arthog', which is Telford and Wrekins LEA centre in Gwynedd, for a varied and different relationship for the last 16 years.
More recently I worked for the Joint Services Mountaineering Training centre Indifatagable on Anglsey delivering mountaineering (Summer ML)and rock climbing training (SPA) and assessment courses.
