Biografie
Bore Da/' Mornin' oder Pnawn Da/afternoon! Ursprünglich stamme ich aus dem West Country, bin aber vor 40 Jahren nach Wales gezogen und habe nie zurückgeblickt. Ich liebe meine Wahlheimat und habe hier zwei walisischsprachige Kinder großgezogen.
Ich bin seit 25 Jahren als Reiseleiter und Tourmanager tätig und betreue alle Arten von Einzelpersonen und Gruppen. Ich liebe es, Wales und das West Country allen Arten von Besuchern zu zeigen - von Akademikern bis hin zu Wanderern. Ich komme aus einem ländlichen Umfeld und habe 25 Jahre lang als qualifizierter Bergführer gearbeitet, daher liebe ich es, Touren durch die Landschaft zu unternehmen, sei es im Bus oder zu Fuß. Ich habe aber auch ein Geschichtsstudium absolviert und für Cadw, Visit Wales und lokale Behörden gearbeitet, wo ich historische Stätten interpretiert und Routen so geplant habe, dass sie korrekt sind, aber auch Spaß machen!
Being self-employed for many years, I have worked on many events and projects so with me you get the mixture of a lot of experience but flexibility and the belief that the clients’ brief counts! I project-managed the official opening of the Wales Coast Path, written copy for websites and printed literature on heritage sites and have planned and led many press trips and tour operator visits but my first love is guiding individuals or groups both for a few hours or for over a week. Book me and your group will go away knowing more about Wales and the South West of England than when they arrived but also feeling cohesive, happy and entertained with good memories of your company.
When lockdown happened and my international clients ceased, I spent the time researching and sewing an authentic Welsh lady costume and researching a story town tour “A Trail with Tales from a lady of Wales” of my home town, I also developed a food tour or this gourmet-lovers town and of course tours of the World Heritage Conwy Castle and town walks. I also have been running hikes to local prehistory sites.
Es gibt ein vornehmes walisisches Wort für Lebewohl, aber hier in der Gegend sagen wir einfach ta ta - bis bald!
Interessen
Landwirtschaft und Landbau
I can arrange visits to a hill farm to watch the sheepdogs work, try shearing a sheep or feeding calves
Küstenlinie
With much of Wales' magnificent coastline away from roads the best place to see it is a hike along a beach or cliff
Landleben
Learn why farmers make stripes in grass fields or the sheep have coloured markings
Gärten und Herrenhäuser
Visit world-class gardens, National Trust properties with a guide who'll show you the quirky and undiscovered bits
Geographie und Geologie
A People are formed from their landscape and in turn this is shaped by the underlying rocks and Wales has such a variety of geology from the oldest rocks in the world sticking up from pastures and lakes to the fascinating coal measures or slate beds and learn the stories about the workers that lived off them
Geschichte und Vorgeschichte
Walk through the hills along ancient tracks to standing stone circles, inside burial chambers or admire the view from a medieval indigenous castle as an experienced and qualified guide peoples them with fold from the past
Industrielles Erbe
Be led through the eerie inclines, railways and workers cottages of the past as we hear about how folk are still making a living from these industrial sites with modern industries such as adventure tourism or art
Natur und Tierwelt
Embedded in the locality I can take you along beach, cliff, farmland, lake or Celtic rainforest and point out the wealth of flora and fauna both indigenous or introduced from tiny lichen to the wild ponies and goats
