I love going on journeys exploring the wild places of Scotland; spending time looking at the wildlife, and sharing the experience with others.
Although my first passion is mountains, I am also passionate about paddling the amazing waterways of Scotland. I have lived in Scotland since 2005, and still, feel like I am on my holiday!
I absolutely love Scotland, its people and landscapes.
I have qualifications to lead and coach canoeing, also to lead in the mountains on foot, and by mountain bike.
I am a Ski Patroller and hold a Wilderness E.M.T.
The Cairngorms- especially if there is a covering of snow for a ski tour.
In my previous career in the Fire Service, I was a member of a World Champion Tug O War team, winning Gold at the First World Fire Fighter Games 1990 in Aukland New Zealand. I successfully defended the title in Las Vegas in 1992!!

It was an experience of a lifetime. My husband had never done anything like this before and was lamenting before the trip about how he had let himself be talked into such a thing. He enjoyed it immensely, in spite of the weather conditions and being worried about my injury. We learned things about ourselves and saw a country from a very intimate perspective. We consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to walk the WHW together and would recommend Wilderness Scotland without hesitation.
