By Phil Turner
Phil Turner lives in the Falmouth area and when not exploring the paths of Cornwall works as an emergency medical technician and Mountain Leader. When this work takes him further afield he soon finds himself longing for the salty air (and pasties) of Cornwall. An active member of West Cornwall Search and Rescue team, Phil spends many wet and windy evenings training the next generation of team members how to use a map and compass.
