Robert (Topsy) Turner

Following a full career in the Royal Marines, specialising for most of it as a Mountain Leader, and working in close protection, Robert (Topsy) focused his energies as a Mountain Leader racking up many years of experience in mountain ranges all over the world.

If not roaming the hillside, you may spot him riding the Tour de France cols of the Pyrenees or cross country skiing through Norway. A man that makes every day count.

In 2016, Robert fulfilled his dream and moved to the mountains of the French Pyrenees, where has a Chambre d’ote and is never more happy than hiking or back country skiing in his home valley of d’Oueil with his beloved ‘Coco’ for company.

Nothing has ever been a problem, and most things have been a laugh. Certainly everything has been memorable. Remember the wise watchwords drummed into us by Rolfe – “pain is temporary but glory is forever!”
