Freddie Cole

Hi, I’m Freddie. I’ve been working in outdoor education and coaching since 2016. This has been in a variety of roles, from youth work, to guiding, to instructor training and developing, From West coast America to the four corners of the UK. When I'm not at work I am normally found coaching and playing on the water in my canoe.

Interesting fact about me: My beard is big enough to double up as a pencil case.

Likes: White water and Adventure Canoeing, Fermenting and Wild cooking

Dislikes: Ketchup, Red Sauce and any other name it goes by.

Why the Wild Schools Project? My passion is development, and Outdoor Education is one of the best tools for it. So bringing to everyone just makes sense.

Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve been an outdoor education instructor since 2005, which has taken me to some interesting parts of the world such as South America, New Zealand, the Middle East and numerous parts of  Europe. In my spare time when I'm not out on adventures, I volunteer as a team member and Casualty Carer for Arrochar Mountain Rescue.

Interesting fact about me: My doppelganger is Orin from the hobbit series

Likes: Big Adventures in Wild Places, Chocolate and White Water Kayaking

Dislikes: Broccoli, Broccoli, and more Broccoli!

Why the Wild Schools Project? For me it’s bringing 20 years of experience and adventures to a new generation of Adventurers and watching new possibilities igniting in them.
