Simon Illingworth

I started skiing aged 11 with my parents and so began a lifelong addiction. Back in the 80’s I ran the ski club at Newcastle Poly followed by 2 seasons in Meribel before returning to the world. Since then I’ve squeezed in 2-3 weeks recreational skiing a year. Now the pressure of work is easing I hope to spend longer in the mountains and am looking forward to skiing with fellow club members. Off the slopes I’m a keen downhill mountain biker and also enjoy walking, sailing and getting away in our camper van.
