FIND NEW ADVENTURES WITH ROB MESSENGER MOUNTAIN TRAINING

About me...
Hi I'm Rob I grew up in the fells of The Lake District and spent my adolescent years on the moors of the Peak District National Park. I am a keen hill walker, scrambler and rock climber. My instructor style is friendly and relaxed. Operating as a confident and experienced mountain leader, I am open to most ideas.
I have actively been involved in the UK search and rescue scene since 2009 and in October 2022 I moved house and joined Derby Mountain Rescue Team. I have been a search and rescue dog handler since 2013 with my dog Penny (in the picture on the right), she has now retired and I am now training a new dog called "Ghyll".
I have been an outdoor instructor working with a variety of different groups since 2008. A change in personal circumstances, in 2013, led me away from the industry and I am now an industrial abseiler, work at height, rope rescue and first aid instructor.
​
My passion for the outdoors led to me joining the British Mountaineering Council's Technical Advisory Committee which is a role that I am super excited to undertake and an organisation that I am honoured to volunteer for.
I am currently open to work as a mountain leader in the Peak District, Lake District, Snowdonia and further afield. As my full time job is Monday - Friday I mostly work weekends, but I can do the occasional weekday work, just get in touch and I'm happy to discuss.

If you are not sure if I can help you or not, please make contact and we can chat about your needs.

Rob
