Your
Guide - Jo Dadley
|
|
Jo Dadley
is a qualified Blue Badge Guide with a specialised
knowledge of Cumbria and the Lake District. Although an 'off-comer'
arriving here from the south 10 years ago, she immediately
fell in love with the spectacular scenery of the lakes and
mountains.
Jo has been involved
in tourism for many years having worked for a group of select
country house hotels and for 10 years as an air-stewardess
with British Airways. Looking around for a new challenge she
was delighted to gain a place on the prestigious Blue Badge
Guide course for Cumbria in 1999/2000.
