YORKSHIRE IN STYLE: OWNED BY STEVE SUTCLIFFE, MITG, ML
Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1954. A voyage of discovery…….
I discovered camping up in the Lake District when I was 12, I also discovered that it can be very cold and wet as well!
discovered I liked reading books, and couldn’t wait to go on holiday. Then I discovered getting married is hard work! But playing with kids is great fun!
I discovered I could not only play football but I could organise football games in Belgium. Take charge of 2 mini buses to play in Germany, at a British Army Camp. Not only that, but gave my first speech in front of Sergeants and Officers!
I discovered that I could bring up my daughter by myself. And just about managed to hold back the emotions when I had to give her away! (that was a speech!)
discovered a social group called Spice and never looked back! I learned to climb, abseil, archery, dance, white water rafting, tandem skydive etc. It was at this time in my life I was encouraged to lead walks in the Lake District. This led to Leading walks professionally all over the UK with a company called www.walkwise.co.uk for the last 20 years.
This means that I am a well-travelled man with lots of experience of life, with 3 grandsons, they cost me a fortune! I enjoy meeting fellow travellers, it really does broaden your mind! My mind was stretched during the training and exams to be a Blue Badge Guide for Yorkshire back in 2015.
