Solo Climbing
"My Cumbrian roots and the world class outdoor adventure we have here have prepared me for climbs such as Everest and other adventures on some of the greatest cliffs in the world. I frequently travel to the most far flung corners of the Earth in pursuit of ever more extreme adventure".
"In between such expeditions there is nowhere I'd rather be than at home in the Lake District, Cumbria. The mountain and outdoor sports we have here are as enjoyable as anywhere in the world (and the beer is better!). As local lad it is a great honour to be appointed Ambassador for the Adventure Capital UK bid. My aim is to help promote our unique and dramatic region and to inspire visitors to get out and taste the adventure."
