About

Hello. My name is Paul Nolan. 

I live in the foothills of the beautiful Wicklow Mountains, a range I've played in for over 40 years.

Following the collapse of the Celtic Tiger and the disappearance of my 9 to 5 in Environmental Engineering I began working as a Mountain Leader in 2012 and more recently in the fields of Medical and First Aid training.

I've completed the WEMSI EMT programme in addition to being a registered EMT Assistant Tutor who practices with the Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue Team. I draw upon these experiences when delivering First Aid/Medical Practitioner training to the following standards:

• Remote Emergency Care (Levels 1, 2, 3)
• Pre-hospital Emergency Care Council (CFR, CFR-A, FAR, EFR, EMT)
• American Heart Association (Heartsaver AED, BLS)

My athletic background in Orienteering and Mountain Running puts me in a unique position to offer navigation training to those looking to flow across the hills; at speed or for leisure. From holding the record on the 3.7km Sugarloaf Rush Hill Race to being one third of the first team to complete the 110km Wicklow Round I believe I offer a unique insight to navigation training for competition.

For guiding I hold the Mountain Leader, Winter Mountain Leader and International Mountain Leader qualifications. Am affiliated to UIMLA, committed to continued professional development and comprehensively insured. 

I back this up with ​Rock Climbing Instructor and Rope Rescue Technician qualifications.
