Personal ProfileDaz.jpg (26060 bytes)

Daryl Godfrey is holder of both the Mountaineering Instructors Award (M.I.A) and the Cave Instructors Certificate (C.I.C).  Past professional experience includes:

bulletFive years based in the Alps working as a Ski Guide.
bulletSix years as an instructor for a local educational authority.
bulletTwo years as senior instructor to an educational charity.
bulletRecently as a leader for a British Expedition Company.
bulletApproved course provider for the National Governing Bodies. 

 

The 'Acclimbatize idea' was born from recognising:

bulletThe lack of easy access to outdoor activities for the general public.
bulletAn absence of affordable technical skills training for people wishing to achieve greater proficiency or attain vocational recognition

Daryl co-ordinates a team of local freelance instructors and specialist course providers selected for technical expertise and sound interpersonal skills.

A unique approach to technical training!

By adopting skills which have developed in a particular sport (e.g. vertical caving) and transferring them across to appropriate situations in another (e.g. rock climbing and vice versa) more progressive methods of personal safety, efficiency and effectiveness are achieved.
