Aj started his outdoor life as a young lad, going out wild camping in & around the Chilton hills including areas around Oxford. He very quickly became passionate about wild life, nature & wilderness.
Aj went through the D of E program & completed his Gold D of E. This ignited his interest in kayaking as well as the outdoor world. He became a sea scout leader teaching kayaking & open canoeing to members of the sea scouts & girl guides. He very quickly becomes a level 2 coach, level 3 trained & mountaineering ml summer (winter) trained. He then wanted to develop his expertise further, so leaving his home, job & family, moved up to Yorkshire to work at an outdoor centre. Further Expanding his knowledge & qualifications to include, caving level 2, climbing spa, Archery & all aspects of high ropes. Whilst in the industry Aj provided many courses in, outdoor leadership, team building, course directing youth excluded, princes trust & socially excluded groups. He continuously was working on the development of the centre to accommodate corporate groups & to expand the centres clientele. Aj very much enjoyed his time in the industry & training, teaching & assessing other instructors during his time was an experience to be remembered. He left the outdoor industry as a chief instructor & became a Forest Ranger.
Working on holiday sites enabled AJ to teach & mentor other Forest Rangers, expanding his skills & areas of expertise in bushcraft, knowledge of local fauna & flora, as well as learn about the forest & moorland. He was continually developing the activities & site to give the customer a better experience.

Aj enjoys, shooting, fishing, golf, wild camping and being outside at one with nature in his spare time & puts this down to being an ex-member of the Territorial army. Aj has had a very interesting life, with many opportunities to specialise in one area of expertise but has refrained from doing so to widen his knowledge. This enables him to be able to pass this on to you.
EXCELLENT Based on 55 reviews Posted on Craig HVerified Superb Axe throwing instruction We were visiting from the USA and I got to spend Fathers Day throwing some axes with an awesome instructor (Noel). Would highly recommend especially if you have not done it before. You’ll be burying the hatchet on every throw by the end of the session.Posted on Andrew KVerified Air rifle target shooting It was great fun with family, even though the sights on my rifle was a bit off it was still a great experience to see the rest enjoy beating me!! Will do it again when we go next.Posted on Dawn CVerified Good fun, well worth a visit. Booked rifle shooting through Forest Holidays. Instructor was the lovely AJ; a great tutor, very professional and a good laugh. Highly recommend activity if you’re in the area.Posted on Jas CVerified Archery and rifle shooting We booked both archery at Compton then drove over to Keldy for some shooting. We were with Mike for both and he was amazing. Excellent tutoring and plenty of knowledge to share. We had the best day and definately caught the bug to do more! Thanks Mike! 😊Posted on Nicola HurstVerified AJ IS AWESOME!!! AJ was an absolute delight! We had the most amazing zipwire experience and he made the whole thing so much better with his sense of humour, my sister was terrified and he spent so much time and care making her feel safe and calm, thank you AJ you made our zipwire experience!Posted on Andrew PVerified Excellent, knowledgeable, safe We did the air rifle shooting at Keldy and Archery at Cropton, both were supervised by AJ, who was excellent. His wealth of experience and training meant that we all felt safe and confident in what was expected of us, which made the experience itself all the more enjoyable. Highly recommended for first timers and experienced shooters / archers.Posted on Carol TVerified Brilliant, Brilliant Everyone should try it I did a zipwire for the first time, AJ was brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Would recommend to everyone to have a go.Posted on Myla MVerified Archery and Air Rifle with Aj My friends and I did archery and air rifle with Aj on the 27th and it was definitely the highlight of our stay in Keldy. Aj was amazing and hilarious! Highly recommended..Posted on Charlie HVerified No complaints pure epicness While on our stay at forest holidays Keldy me and my girlfriend did all 3 activities with AJ, Zip wire, archery and Air rifles. He was a great tutor making sure we were safe at the same time as having fun, we didn't stop laughing the whole time we were doing these activities. Honestly the best experience I've had doing this sort of thing with any instructor from anywhere would highly recommend.Posted on DxrnellVerified Best Time and Teacher Ever 🏹 AJ took us through zip wiring and archery. He was very funny and an absolutely lovely teacher! The time length of the bookings were longer than I expected which was the best part. AJ has motivated me to take up archery in my spare time as a new hobby! 🏹
