After many years working as an Outdoor Activity Instructor in the UK, New Zealand, Iceland and Norway, I retrained as a Steiner School Teacher which accidentally lead me down a path of managing an after school club. Realising that my motivation was more working with children than climbing mountains the surprise opportunity to be a guinea pig Franchisee arrived at the perfect time back in 2014.

My home town of Bristol is the perfect place to be providing outdoor fun stuff within the city, providing many oppiortunities to link with wonderful organisations and primary schools.

Over the years it been such a pleasure working with so many different children and adults involved in The Outdoors Project as well as the wider network of organisations involved in providing fun and outdoor opportunities. Looking forward to working with all the future generations too!

I look forward to seeing you in a playground or field soon.
