Description
My name is Jenny Wild from the Lake District in the North west where I spent many years walking, scrambling and climbing the fells there. I,ve had adventures in the Alps, Dolomites and the Andes. As well as mountaineering i love being in, on or near water so I,ve been on several sea kayaking trips, paddled an open canoe down the River Spey in Scotland and done a Competent crew course in the Solent followed by some sailing in the Greek Islands and on a Tall ship from Barcelona in a force 10 gale. I enjoy cycling too and travelled solo round Cuba for 2 months early 2013. In the summer of 2012 i spent four months as a willing worker on organic farms in Canada turning my hand to activities like tree pruning, berry picking, scything, planting, digging and using a chain saw. More recently I worked on a farm in Sicily harvesting walnuts and at an Outdoor Centre in Iceland where I helped with group activities in sailing, climbing and archery. I also helped out on a farm in Norway where I took care of horses, geese, goats, rabbits and a pig.

What I miss most about her is the wonderful talks we had, about heaven, earth and everything inbetween. Jenny is for sure not your avarage workawayer, as she may have both more years and wisdom than most of them. But don't let that fool you, she proved to be a good part of the team and got… read more
