About me
Welcome to Escapades. I'm Sophie. You will most likely find me in the mountains or outdoors. I am a member of the MTA, Qualified Summer Mountain Leader with outdoor first aid certification. Rest assured that I have Public Liability Insurance (that I hope to never have to use!).
I have a BA(Hons) in Geography and I am an experienced teacher of Secondary Geography. I am based in Cumbria but can be found adventuring around the UK and abroad.
As well as hiking I enjoy skiing (cross-country and downhill), mountain biking, horse riding, and stand-up paddle boarding. I was born and bred in Cumbria, and grew up walking the fells of the Lake District National Park.
The Paths We Travel
My aim is to inspire, coach, encourage and teach people so that they can enjoy adventures in the mountains and the great outdoors. I am passionate about navigation and maps.
Adventures can be found on the long-distance national trails and away from paths in the lesser-known nooks of the UK's uplands. Whatever sparks your sense of adventure I can help you plan, lead and execute your trip to ensure that you have the best time.
Talk to me about my favourite trails, mountains and adventures.
