Fueling YOUR Confidence OutdoorsBoosting Strength, Independence, and SMILES One Adventure at a TIMEDo you dream of exploring the outdoors BUT you just don’t know where to start? Or maybe you already enjoy the benefits of being outside BUT want to learn more about navigation and CRAVE more adventure…I’m on a mission to empower you to find adventure in the great outdoors by building YOUR confidence, strength, and independence.HOW? By leading sessions that explore the outdoors in small, supportive and relaxed groups, designed to give you the maximum learning experience within a variety of activities including hiking, navigation courses, running and biking - you can even include your dog with an Intro to Canicross, or attend a navigation workshop with your furry friend.Meet Your Instructor – Becky NokesHi, I’m Becky – an experienced and friendly outdoor instructor with a deep love for animals, adventure, and the great outdoors. You’ll often find me exploring wild places with my four-legged sidekick, Casper, trotting happily by my side.My journey into the outdoor industry wasn’t the typical one. Back in 2011, while living in Cheddar, I found myself craving a career with purpose – one where I could help others. At the time, I enjoyed rock climbing and met a few people who taught it professionally. That was my lightbulb moment. I took a leap of faith – left my job, packed my bags, and returned to the Midlands to pursue a career I felt truly passionate about. I enrolled on an intensive instructor training programme, which opened the door to working as a freelance outdoor instructor across the UK.I hadn’t realised how vast and vibrant the outdoor industry was – or how fulfilling it could be to teach others and spark a passion for adventure in them too.T hat bold step marked a new chapter in my life at the youthful age of 37 – and it’s a decision I’ve never regretted.Like many people, I’ve had moments of self-doubt along the way. But learning new skills and gently nudging myself out of my comfort zone (often without even realising it!) has helped me turn those doubts into confidence. One of the biggest turning points? My first solo wild camp – a small adventure that had a big impact on my self-belief. Since then, I’ve never looked back.Experience & QualificationsWith over a decade of experience working with a wide range of people and age groups, I’ve freelanced at outdoor centres across the UK, delivering sessions that build confidence, develop skills, and inspire connection with nature.Qualifications gained along the way:Summer Mountain LeaderBritish Cycling MTB Coach & LeaderClimbing Wall Instructor (CWA) & Climbing Wall Lead Award (CWLA)RIC Trained (Outdoor Climbing Instructor)British Canoe Union Level 2 CoachFSRT & WWSR (Foundation Safety & Rescue Training / White Water Safety & Rescue)Advanced First AidBA (Hons) in Outdoor StudiesCertified Canicross TrainerWelsh Athletics Leader in Running Fitness
