#TeamRAW

Katie Cannell

Client Care and Event Operations

Katie is the one of the first people you’ll speak to when you contacting RAW Adventures and she deftly handles a myriad of sales, staff and event enquiries. During our busy operational periods, Katie ensures groups and staff are heading out the door as prepared as possible.

Katie focuses on our Climb Snowdon and 3 Peaks Challenge events – with expert customer service skills and a super ability at juggling the administration of multiple events. Katie is a local girl, having grown up on Anglesey before moving to Llanberis to be closer to the mountains and Llyn Padarn.

She is also well travelled and has spent two winter seasons in the French Alps and a year over in Western Canada. As well as exploring the mountains, both local and further afield, Katie likes to spend her time paddle-boarding on Llyn Padarn, coasteering and surfing off Anglesey’s beautiful coasts.

Dan Lane

Operations Manager

Out in the hills from the day he could walk, Dan has an excellent breadth of knowledge of our UK mountains, which helps him plan for and manage some of our larger mountain events and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions.

He holds the Mountain Leader and Rock Climbing Instructor qualifications and is working towards a Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor qualification. Dan also has a keen eye for photography and will always fit in longer personal trips to Scotland for the extra challenge and remoteness that it offers, for walking and climbing.

Dan splits his time between working in the RAW office, supporting general operations and managing our Duke of Edinburgh expeditions groups, to ensuring meticulous event planning is carried out on the hill. Happy clients make for a happy Dan! You’ll often see him accompanied by Alfie The Mountain Dog.

Honesty Lewis

Operations Manager

The newest member of the #TeamRAW office, Honesty has worked on the hills for RAW for a number of years, finally joining the team in the office to assist in all things operations and logistics. Honesty is your point of contact for the Welsh 3000s, bespoke adventures and DofE too.

Embarking on expeditions to Venezuela and South Africa in her teens, Honesty soon realised she’s happiest in the mountains. Having achieved her Mountain Leader and having completed a number of triathlons, you’ll now find Honesty running with her Border Collie – Aneirin, on the paths and hills of North Wales training for her next event.

Nonny Dog

You may also meet ‘Nonny Dog’ when you’re out with Kate or Ross, as Nonny LOVES to meet new people and enjoys a great day out in the mountains as much as the next person. We will always check with you and your group to ensure everyone is happy with the company of a four-legged Assistant Leader for the day.

Some days aren’t appropriate for Nonny to accompany us, but if the cap fits and everyone’s in agreement, then Nonny will be super excited to meet you!

She is a friendly and happy-go-lucky, young Border Collie who will stop at nothing for fuss and stroke. She is definitely good company on long ascents... just follow her tail up the hill!
