#ouryearinpictures #12: In August, 11 students from @6FTS_ESUAS cycled 680 km across Mongolian deserts, steppe, and mountains in an expedition named Ex: Mongolian Endurance. After a long day in the saddle, the evenings were spent under the stars relaxing. Happy New Year!

#ouryearinpictures #11: In 2019 we supported 46 cadet expeditions in the UK and abroad. This snap was taken during Ex: Alpine Rock. Cadets from @SeaCadetsLondon traveled to Bavaria to undertake a variety of challenging activities. We look forward to supporting more cadets in 2020

#ouryearinpictures #10: It's great to reach the top! These cadets from @barney_school @CCFcadets visited the Cairngorms in Feb for 5 days of activities in the snow & ice. Their expedition proved that you don't need to travel abroad to have an adventure - Scotland has it all!

  • Special days are working alongside one of my best friends and long-time ski-mentor Ewen Martin. Good teams complement, support and boost the skills of the individuals... and the fact that I get to work alongside this inspiring ski teacher makes me really proud. 😍💫🙏 Lots to be grateful for this week in Chamonix. @adventurenorway @basi_inst #crosscountryskiing #nordicskiing #totallynormal #superextraordinary #beyourbestself #chamonixnordic #chamonix #chamonixskiing #theotherskiing #therealstuff #areyouupforthechallenge #wintertraining #skiteachers #skiinstructors #loveyourwork
  • Second day here in Chamonix training up nine new BASI level 1 instructors. Here @mountainminds takes the lead delivering a teaching episode on the timing in Diagonal stride. The tracks are in great condition, the motivation and energy of the whole group is high and we’re enjoying making real gains in our ski technique and understanding. Feeling blessed to enjoy my job so much 🥰❄️💡 “You’re not supposed to give people what they want, you’re supposed to give people what they don’t know that they want yet.” #dianavreeland @basi_inst #nordicinstructors #matrixmoments #stayincontrol #stayinthemoment #skillsanddrills #focus #controlyourbody #snowsportsinstructor #chamonix #chamonixnordic #skidefond #teachersfollowteachers
  • The summit slopes of the “Ladies Mont Blanc” afford some majestic views of her big sister... and despite no significant snowfall for over two weeks the snow up high has stayed in reasonable condition. This morning, absorbed in an engaging book and with a busy work week ahead I almost stayed at home... but I’m grateful the sunshine and summits pulled me off the sofa and motivated me skyward. There were plenty of other tourers heading for Mont Buet as well today... but space enough to find your own rhythm and lose yourself in mountain day-dreams. 🌈🏔💫 #skitouring #skifreedom #montbuet #sundayafternoonstroll #sundayfunday #bigwhitesister #ladiesmontblanc #stretchyourlegs #workweekahead #southernhorizon
  • Delighted to announce a new (non-technical) trek through the incredibly beautiful Supramonte mountains of Sardinia- lead by my wonderful friend Tore Solinas. ☀️ Dates In Autumn 2020 to be announced soon 🍂 Tore is a superbly knowledgable local trekking guide and a real pleasure to spend time with! I was lucky to become friends with him on my first visit to the island and he has generously shared his knowledge with me as I start to develop my own guiding trips there. This five-day journey takes in some of the most memorable parts of the Supramonte. You will be rewarded with some spectacular views, explore the area’s fascinating geology, peel back the layers of its history... and sample lots of great Sardinian food and wine along the way. Tore’s warmth and charisma will make this journey a holiday you will remember with a huge smile well into the future! We are teaming up with Inversion Travel to bring this hidden gem of a walking holiday. Please help me spread the word to all those who might be interested in this non-technical trek. Link to trek details in my bio. @inversiontravel #sardinianadventures #supramontedioliena #wildplaces #trektheworld #thetrek #walkingholiday #walkingholidays #italianholidays #localknowledge #bestdaysout #unforgettable #mountainmoments #outdooradventures
