Qualified Hill Guide...

Hello. My name is Roy Kennard. I am a qualified hillguide. My formal training and assessment were undertaken at the National Mountain Centre at Plas-y- Brenin in North Wales. The National Mountain Centre provides training and assessment on behalf of the Mountain Leader Training Board for England.

Although I have these formal qualifications my love for walking in the Cheviot Hills covers a period of more than 20 years. I have led many small groups into these hills and safely back again.

I am passionate about hill walking and enjoy meeting people as well as keeping fit. Every time I walk in the hills of Northumberland I learn something new. The Cheviot Hills in particular are a fascinating place to visit.

Prior to setting up my business as a hill guide my profession was education. I am married with two grown up children.

To help you prepare for a walk in the hills I have provided some general guidance which you can find in the Term and Conditions. This includes clothing as well as food and drink.

I look forward to leading you on walks in the beautiful Cheviot Hills of Northumberland.
