Who we are ...
We are a group of friends born and bred in North
Wales or resident here for many years. We are widely travelled but for
all of us the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) remain our home and our first
love.
Rob
Collister
Rob's first job was with the British Antarctic Survey as a mountaineer
and dog handler and he has worked in mountains ever since. After qualifying
as a Mountain Guide in 1976 he worked for eleven years at centres in North
Wales. Since then, as a freelance, he has led parties trekking, climbing
and skiing all over the world. He takes a special interest in natural
history and is closely connected with the Wilderness Trust and the John
Muir Trust. For more details about Robs ski touring and mountain guiding.
Ann
Sweeney
Ann lives in Llanberis, at the foot of Snowdon, very close to a dramatic waterfall. After living in Canada for a while, she returned home to North Wales where she now works as a Management Development Training Consultant. She holds the Mountain Leader award and as well as leading many Wild Wales weekends, leads treks to India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and the Galapagos Islands.
Outdoor Training and Management Development Courses
Ann designs and delivers outdoor Team-working and Leadership courses with several large corporate organisations throughout the UK. She also delivers Personal Skills courses which include such topics as Presentation Skills, Negotiation Skills and Time Management.
Del
Davies
Del was a geography teacher who, after eleven years at the chalk face,
moved into outdoor pursuits and became warden of The Towers, the Wolverhampton
LEA Centre near Capel Curig. An accomplished rock climber, he came late
to fell-running, but became Welsh champion in the veterans class and held
the record for the traverse of the Cullin Ridge on Skye. For the last
few years he has travelled through mountains in a more leisurely manner,
working as a consultant in outdoor education and instructing Mountain
Leader training and assessment courses. He also runs an excellent bunkhouse
