James Tugwell

James almost contracted hypothermia hiking up a mountain in a blizzard in the Canadian Rockies and he’s been addicted to the outdoors ever since. When he’s not studying for his final year of Media and Communications, he’s cycling, canyoning, frothing over the latest outdoor gear or cracking open some kombucha [it’s good for your gut!] with mates around the fire.
