ADVENTURES

EXPLORE ADVENTURES IN NORTH WALES

Image by Kirk Schwarz

Have now been out scrambling with Kelly four times over 13 months. Done the Gribyn, Crib Goch and Tryfan. 

 

Kelly has an unique ability to recognise your physical abilities (whichever end of the spectrum they may be) in a very short space of time - whether you yourself recognise these abilities or not - and then striking a balance between pushing you out of your comfort zone and keeping you very safe. Whilst all you have to think about is the next step, or foothold, Kelly is considering the best route, watching the weather, and thinking several steps ahead. The days are also a perfect balance of putting your head down and getting the job done, and rolling about laughing. 

 

Would recommend Kelly to anyone who wants to have the best days out, explore Eryri safely and achieve more than they thought was possible.

ABOUT ME...

Welcome and Croeso to my adventure website!  

 

My name is Kelly and I have been an avid outdoor enthusiast for over 15 years. My passion started in Spain where I discovered the great outdoors with my best dog buddy and soon found that the mountains were accessible for everyone! We joined a walking group and before we knew it we were tackling the highest summits in the Sierra de Tejedas!

I now live and work in the beautiful Snowdonia national park in North Wales. I am a keen walker, climber and explorer. I tried rock climbing many years ago and now I am a qualified instructor after lots of hard work and self-belief. 

I am passionate about helping people achieve new skills and experiences in the outdoors. I am proud to have worked with all kinds of people with different abilities and backgrounds, Blind veterans UK and those with limb differences. There is a climber in everyone! 

I hold nationally recognised qualifications with Mountain Training  including a Rock Climbing Instructor and the Mountain Leader award . 

I am also a certified Fitness Coach and I help people get back to health in the gym when I am not on the mountains!

​

Come and take your first steps into the outdoors and let me create the perfect Adventure for you!
