Alex Parmenter

I spend my time Biking in the summer, Skiing in the winter and Mountaineering/Climbing and paragliding throughout the year. My motivations come not just from having a blast in the hills myself but sharing these experiences with others. I want to empower others to go and get stuck in with their mates and enjoy a lifetime of adventure.

I have been a full-time employee at Glenmore Lodge National Training Centre for over 10 years and within that time I have actively been working with British Cycling as a tutor and worked closely with the development of the awards over the years.

I am a tutor for Mountain Training, on the summer and winter mountain leader awards and a tutor for Snowsport Scotland on the backcountry Snowsport awards. So I have a lot of background of leading and teaching others to lead safely in the mountains.
