An outdoor enthusiast Chris walked the Pennine Way when he was 19 and has gone on to walk several of the UK’s other long distance footpaths – the latest being the Ridgeway which he completed in 2005.

His ambition is to complete all Wainwrights’ Lakeland peaks by each of the marked routes.

Chris is a member of the YHA’s Audit and Performance Committee, having completed a consultancy project for them in 2005 examining the dynamics of the hostel network.

When not walking, Chris also enjoys running (a couple of half marathons are now under his belt), skiing, camping, cooking and enjoying his family.
