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 led me to Worcester University to study a degree in Outdoor Adventure Leadership and Management, setting me on the path to becoming an instructor and guide.
​​
For close to a decade, I have been adventuring on the water and in the mountains. Guiding and instructing groups of all ages and abilities. Working for notable centers such as Glenmore Lodge and The Outward Bound Trust.
​
My aim is to be able to share my passion for adventure with anyone willing to get involved.
​
I am also a passionate photographer with a knack for telling a story through the lens of my camera.
