Richard Walters – Expedition Support

Whatmore Plastics logo

Dickie is 35 and lives in Oxford. As an ex-Royal Navy officer he is no stranger to adventure having spent most of his career at sea but admits that supporting a project of this size is entering new territory.

Since leaving the Royal Navy, Dickie has been involved in IT, Telecoms and the media where he hopes to use his skills to ensure that the team are in daily contact with the UK. A multi-talented individual, Dickie will be heavily involved in updating the website, acting as photographer, cameraman, navigator and driver. We also hope he can make a mean cup of tea and can put up a tent in 2 minutes.

In his spare time Dickie is a fan of the outdoors and has just returned from 3 months skiing in Canada where he qualified as a Ski and Snowboard instructor. Determined to get some fresh tracks during the expedition he hopes to pack his snowboard without anyone noticing. Dickie is also a keen sailor and has aspirations to one day sail around the world. Will Everestmax prove to be the catalyst?
