In 2018 I said goodbye to the Subtle Bus, my bright yellow van which had served me well for over 8 years.  Instead I warmly welcomed Bimble into the Bradshaw adventure family and boy do we have big plans together!

Plans which will, at times, push me out of my comfort zone, wandering around the country meeting amazing people and taking other amazing people along too, and going to places we have never been and learning new skills.

My idea of the 'van with a plan' came out of another idea I had of 'a walk in the woods with...' and as plans go, this one has grown long legs! My plan, which is still being worked on and worked up, is to meet up with amazing people who do totally different things to me but all with a theme of the outdoors, mental health, and spending a day in the life of.....

 
 

I'm keen to push my limits and learn new skills, to highlight outdoor adventures that you can get involved in and promote just how easy it is to simply get outside. The outdoors is so good for your mental health and as I am fundraising and supporting children's mental health charity Place2Be, mental health is so important to me. 

I've managed to persuade the following bunch of amazing adventure makers to agree to my social plan and have many more to contact and schedule in over time.


DAVID WILLIS

David Willis – Willis Bushcraft

I am a teacher of Bushcraft and Wilderness Living Skills. I can be found baking bread and rustling up tasty meals over a campfire, whittling spoons, foraging for edibles, walking in the woods and soaking up everything nature has to offer. I have served with the Royal Engineers in Belize, spent time living alongside the Maasai in the Rift Valley and learnt from the Bushman of the Kalahari, motorcycled around Europe, built and paddled my canoe along the Thames, and love heading out on adventures. 

Escaping the corporate world was my best decision ever, with a long career in technology development and consulting, I now love to teach both adults and children, sharing the skills needed to enjoy living life and having fun outdoors!

For over 25 years, I have walked & climbed the mountains of England, Wales, Scotland, and throughout Europe. Passionate about the mountain environment, especially the rockier bits, I adore spending time climbing or scrambling. I escaped the rat race of city life in Manchester and moved to the tranquillity of the Lake District 12 years ago and hold a degree in Geography (Open University) with particular interests in Geology & Glaciation and the UK Mountain Leader and Rock Climbing Instructor qualifications. Myself and my partner Kate run Mountain Journeys from our home in the Lake District during the summer and from our Spanish residence during our chillier winters.
