Meet The Team

Stephen is an experienced outdoor instructor. In 2017 he graduated from the University of Wales with a degree in outdoor education and has since developed his skills and knowledge.

​

 In 2022 he decided to take the plunge and set up his own company, delivering expeditions along with other adventures. Stephen is an experienced practitioner of outdoor education, walking is definitely his preferred mode of travel. It's his core belief that every opportunity spent outside walking beside hedge rows, through mountains and forests or along coastlines is an opportunity for learning.

Jack started off as a Chef and Sommelier in some of the high-end businesses in Cardiff and South Wales. With some encouragement from family, Jack fell in love with walking in the Welsh countryside. Now working with Encounter Expeditions in our Booking & Communications department, he is your main point of contact for all your enquiries.

"I really didn't expect to be working within Encounter Expeditions, but now, I am here whenever you're ready for more information."

Although I wind everyone up with how long it takes me to smell every blade of grass, I still love being in the open air.
My favourite activities are long walks and muddy puddles!

(If you are not too keen on our four-legged friends, I am quite happy in the office, I am quite fond of a lazy day. Most of our activities suit having four-legged friends by your side)
