    Dan Morgan

    Handsome | Intelligent | Modest

    Mini Bio

    I’m a retired academic, rejuvenated climber/mountaineer/paddler/biker. I spent over 40 years caressing rock faces all over the world and never tired of it. I love sharing moments in the outdoors with others, learning about different people’s lives and admiring human nature (most) alongside nature itself. I now live in the Lake District close to my roots.

    Favourite Place to Play

    West coast of Scotland for rock and sea (when the weather is good).

    Not a lot of People Know This

    I used to climb telegraph poles for a living.

    What Fellow Travellers Say About Dan

    Dan was one of the highlights of our trip! He has superb interpersonal skills being fun, funny, intelligent, well spoken, flexible, and intuitive about us. He 'tuned in' to our personalities and tailored the information he shared, along with the pacing of each day, to suit us perfectly. We quickly fell into an easy rhythm and developed the most wonderful camaraderie. Both Jeff and I felt we were traveling with a friend who brought out the best in us while we shared laughs, experiences, and views about life. We could not imagine or wish for a better guide and hope to travel with Dan, again.

    Dan did an excellent job navigating the trails. He seemed extremely familiar with them, like he hiked them weekly. He was able to make adjustments along the way, if needed. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geography around us as well.

    Dan was an amazing guide! He is professional and friendly. He ensured that we enjoyed the trip - taking us to interesting & beautiful places, changing the itinerary depending on the weather, pointing out interesting facts and varying the distances so that everyone could have a great time. He identified the weakest hiker and ensured her safety.

    He has a wonderful sense of humour and is very patient. The walking/hiking trip was wonderful and he made it more so.

    Our guide knew very well how to balance two very different ways of walking, my husband's and mine, which was not easy. Because of that we always had beautiful, original walks

    Dan was great. He is knowledgeable and kind. As far as the latter, he made us all feel comfortable. I never once felt like I was too slow or clumsy. And we all laughed and teased each other a lot.
