Episode #1 kicks off the podcast with Mountaineering Instructor Rob Johnson. Based in Snowdonia, he’s spent the past 20 years guiding clients across the mountains of Britain, amongst the European Alps, and onto the peaks of Norway, Nepal and Peru. He’s taught outdoor skills and Mountain Leader courses to many hundreds of clients (including your host Dan), and has recently added outdoor drone filming to his skillset.
