Dr Mark Avery is a scientist by training and a birder by inclination, who has become an environmental campaigner, author and blogger since leaving the RSPB in 2011 (after 25 years, 13 of them as Conservation Director).  He’ll be talking about his campaign to ban driven grouse shooting and about his new organisation, Wild Justice, that he has set up with Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay.

Our Fast Track Adventure Pro course is an intensive programme of climbing, hiking, paddling and biking courses, with one-to-one mentoring sessions that enable you to focus your training at the latter end of the course, to your specific requirements.

Taking place over four months, the course is the opportunity to change or develop your career as an outdoor instructor or just invest some time in your own personal development.

We’re holding a free open day to give you a chance to find out more about the scheme. You will get to see where and how the course operates, as well as speak to our instructors about the practicalities of attending and living at Plas y Brenin for four months.

If you’d like to join us, please email info@pyb.co.uk or call 01690 720214 to book a space.

If you’re looking to move your career outdoors, or just need a few months to get away from everything and get stuck into some real personal development, Fast Track Adventure Pro is for you.

Designed to get you up to scratch in all areas of outdoor adventure, the Fast Track Adventure Pro course is an intensive programme of climbing, hiking, paddling and biking courses for the aspiring professional instructor, or outdoors addict.

On our open day we’ll be answering any questions you might have about this exciting programme, as well as introducing you to instructors and to the site.

Exercise your legs and your vocal cords! Enjoy a guided introduction to a range of walks in Snowdonia. Your leader will help you interpret the landscape and you can learn about hillwalking as you go. In the evening the centre will be flooded with music and you can join in too. Whether you’re a musician, vocalist or just an enthusiastic listener, this weekend celebration of acoustic music and mountain walking is a great opportunity to share your love of walking and music with other outdoor enthusiasts and musicians.
