About

My aim is simple. It is to inspire and educate children globally about world climate change and to do so through my interactive expeditions and related school outreach work. My focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on the arctic regions, its Inuit people, its animals and landscape.

“The future of the human race depends on educating our next generations on environmental awareness”

“Dare to dream, believe and you will succeed”

Ever since I can remember, I have been running around in the outdoors, fascinated by the world around me. I have been lucky enough to visit some truly inspirational places and to meet some amazing people; to have directly witnessed the kind of things that as a student at school, I could only ever have dreamt about.

This is my story:

As a teenager, I dedicated much of my free time to mountain sports including skiing and snowboarding, hiking and climbing. At college, I studied a HND in Public Services, placing myself in the ideal position from which to enter the armed forces. I successfully completed time in the Territorial Army and the Royal Navy before returning home to pursue a career in the great outdoors.

For a number of years I took up the role of a tour leader, accompanying groups on adventure holidays around the world. After saving enough money, I invested in a placement on the Plas-y-Brenin Fast Track Instructors Scheme, through which I qualified as an International Mountain Leader. I soon found myself leading various remote expeditions, including a number of trips to the Arctic.

At 28, the Arctic remains a special place to me. Polar exploration is not a hobby of mine, it is a full time occupation partnered with my school outreach work and non profit company “Education Through Expeditions”. The Arctic is stunningly beautiful and untouched by Man until relatively recently, it is a place where maintaining the utmost respect for the environment is the key to survival at times. The indigenous peoples of the Arctic have all learnt to coexist with nature. Guided by their experiences, we can all learn valuable lessons for the future.

Dear Antony,

I have learnt through a colleague of your work on education and climate change through expeditions. May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your innovative approach to education and to encourage you in your aime to inspire and educate children globally about climate change.

I wish you well. Warmly and with a smile,
