  • Home About Us Mel

Hi I’m Mel! 

When I did my first canyon about 10 years ago I didn’t realise that one day I’d be able to turn a hobby into a career. 

During COVID I retrained as an outdoor guide and am now lucky enough to combine my background in environmental science and teaching with my love of adventuring outdoors. 

My main goal at High and Wild is to inspire people to get outside, enjoy nature, and reignite curiosity in the world around us. 

Feel the fear…but do it anyway!!!
