Tim Blakemore
My experience has been gained in a wide and varied arena including Antarctica, Asia, North, Central and South America, Africa as well as extensive climbing throughout Europe and Scandinavia. I love being in the mountains and pursue climbing in all its forms: UK Rock, Scottish Winter, Alpine Mountaineering, Ice Climbing and Off Piste Skiing and Touring.
I enjoy guiding in remote or wild places with people who laugh, or make me laugh.
As well as guiding I act as a Technical Advisor to a number of organisations in the UK who specialise in outdoor education with young people. I also offer training and instruction in National Governing Body Awards: SPA, WGL and ML (Summer) and provide Continuing Professional Development Workshops to organisations including MLTA and AMI.
I've been published in various publications including the BMC's magazine 'Summit' and the MCoS magazine 'Scottish Mountaineer'. I currently co deliver the BMC's Winter Mountaineering Lectures.
I welcome enquiries from all levels of alpinists, novice through to seasoned campaigner at any time of year. I'm particularly interested in ski touring in quieter, far flung places.
I split my time between the UK and the Alps where I live. I'm father to my teenage son, Michael, who is growing up faster than his Dad.
