Anne Vowles - Chair
Anne took up climbing on the gritstone edges of Derbyshire as a teenager, following a school trip to White Hall Centre. Through helpful adults in volunteer roles, she discovered hill walking, winter mountaineering and Alpine mountaineering. This all led to a decision to follow an outdoor career after studying a science course at university.
Anne worked at outdoor education centres for three different education authorities before becoming Head of Centre at Kent Mountain Centre in Llanberis. Along the way she gained qualifications including the Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (now known as the Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor) and also became an enthusiast for sea kayaking. Sea kayak expeditions, together with climbing and mountaineering, remain activities close to Anne's heart.
Anne is a past Chair of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors. She lives in Snowdonia, has been learning Welsh and is married to a Welshman. These days, Anne works part time as a leader of walks and scrambles in the mountains of Snowdonia, and very much enjoys introducing newcomers to the pleasures of exploring the Welsh mountains.
