A Lifelong Passion
I'm Mark and spending time in nature has been a constant in my life for over 30 years. During the Covid lockdowns, I made the decision to turn that passion into something more. I began training seriously to keep myself and others safe in the mountains, to learn more about the environment, and to transition from a long corporate career to becoming a qualified Mountain Leader.
I’m currently working toward or have already achieved the following qualifications:
-
NNAS Gold (National Navigation Award Scheme)
-
Outdoor First Aid
-
Mountain Leader (Summer) – Examining in 2025
-
Surrey Hills Ambassador – Examining Autumn 2025
Why It Matters
Nature has always been my happy place. Only recently did I understand why. Like many families, mine has experienced mental health struggles. That personal connection led me to become a certified Mental Health First Aider and an executive mental wellbeing sponsor in my corporate life.
Now, through Summit Roots, I aim to bring that experience together—offering a space for people to breathe deeply, move freely, and reconnect with what really matters.
The Sciency Bit
How Nature Helps the Mind
Being in nature doesn’t just feel good—it literally changes your brain and body in ways that reduce stress, boost mood, improve focus, and make you feel more at ease.
