ABOUT ME
Richard Taylor
I have always had a passion for the outdoors. Whether it was family holidays up into the hills of the lake district or trips down south to the surf of cornwall.
This love for the outdoors lead me to Worcester university to study a degree in Outdoor Adventure Leadership and Managment, setting me on the path to becoming an instructor and guide.
​
Since finnished my degree i have spend the last 3 years working in a veriety of different settings of Outdoor education. From Schools and Colleges to Climbing Walls and Outdoor Centers.
​
When im not at work i spend my time climbing, walking and paddling as much as i can. My aim is to be able to share my passion for adventure with anyone willing to get involved.
​
I am also a pasionate phtographer with a nack for telling a story through the lense of my camera. Check out my photos bellow!
