geology, as this fits really well with my 'outdoors' predisposition. During my degree I have been able to visit European countries for both geological field trips and caving trips in equal measure. Prince's Gardens, just opposite Ethos gym, has strong sentimental value to me. This is where I’ve trained would-be speleologists (cave explorers), teaching vertical caving techniques and how to use the ropes safely, and where I’ve met caving novices who’ve become really good friends. I really like baking in my spare time, so once I spent a couple of days baking hundreds of oat biscuits just before our annual summer expedition. It was really fun to dig into the stash of biscuits on the top of a mountain - more than 1,000km from where they were made!"
