"I was privileged to complete my ML with Bryn. Bryn is an outstanding instructor. Hugely knowledgable, with a great depth of experience which he uses to adapt his approach to your learning style. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryn and what's more, he's a smashing bloke to spend time with in the mountains."
Dan Rogers
"I did my Lowland Leader assessment with Bryn, who was recommended to me. Even though it was an assessment, Bryn put me and the rest of the team at ease. He was calm, encouraging, fair and we all learned so much. We all passed our LL assessment. I highly recommend Bryn to anyone, and I'm looking forward to doing my Mountain Leader training with him next year".
