Public Speaking

Ideal for small groups or clubs, I offer three interesting topics: Alfie's Adventures, A Million Words and Eight Pairs of Boots,
and The Highs and Lows of a Guided Walk Business. Fees from just £30.00 per event..

Alfie’s Adventures is mainly about a series of articles I wrote regarding working dogs and dogs involved in charities. As part of our research Alfie and I visited the Police Headquarters at Ripley to see various Sniffer Dogs and Police Dogs in action, we met a Canine Partner, Guide Dog for the Blind, Hearing Dog for the Deaf and Alfie even qualified in his own right to represent Pets as Therapy. Hear what happened when Alfie had a go at being a Sheepdog for the day, any my visit to Sudbury Prison to meet their Sniffer Dogs!

 A Million Words and Eight Pairs of Boots tells snippets and anecdotes notched up over eighteen years of writing a regular fortnightly feature for The Peak Advertiser. Hear about my exploits and adventures both overground and underground including long distance walks either across the Peak District or from the top to the bottom.

The Highs & Lows of a Guided Walk Business is packed with amusing stories about my Guided Walk Business which I established a couple of years ago. Guaranteed to make you smile, this talk includes snippets and tales about the people I have met, the experiences both good and bad and memories which I will treasure. Find out who Kangaroo Poo was and why I am known as the Cilla Black of the Peak District!
