Rehna Yaseen: Life as an outdoors instructor in the Peak District

Imagine getting to take teenagers hiking, canoeing and winter climbing in Scotland for your full-time job.

My guest in this podcast episode is Rehna Yaseen - she’s an outdoors instructor and youth and community worker who spends many of her days giving city-based teenagers fantastic outdoors adventures that they wouldn’t normally get to experience.

Rehna lives in Greater Manchester but her outdoors role in based in the Peak District.

I travelled to the Hollowford Centre in Castleton in the Peak District to meet Rehna and we also took a hike up Mam Tor together.

Having only gone on her first hike aged 16, I wanted to find out how Rehna came to be an outdoors instructor and youth worker, what it’s really like to lead teenagers on adventures in the outdoors and why she thinks it’s important that women like her are visible in the outdoors community.
