    Mini Bio

    Having travelled and enjoyed adventures in various countries all over the world, my passion for all things great and small now leads me closer to home. Whether it is pouring with rain or a bright sunny day, nothing makes me happier than being out in this incredible country.

    It is a pleasure to share these moments and help clients connect with our wonderful green forests, peaceful lakes, and rugged coastline.

    Favourite Place to Play

    Having four of the most amazing national parks on my doorstep, you can find me climbing over the gritstone crags, kayaking the rugged coastline, roaming windswept hills, or high upon the majestic mountains.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    My longest sea kayaking journey was close to 100 km/62 miles of open water.

    Experience Read More

    I split my year between guiding groups in incredible overseas destinations like America and Oman and at home in my favourite place on the planet – the UK!

    Since a very young age, I have enjoyed exploring the far-flung corners of the world, learning to be resourceful and adaptable, to plan ahead, and, above all, to have a happy and positive outlook on life – a good sense of humour will get you through most things.

    I am equally happy wild camping in remote areas and on luxury trips staying in some of the finest hotels, houses, and castles. I thoroughly enjoy bringing to life an area’s fascinating history and pointing out the wide variety of flora and fauna.

    Biggest Adventure Read More

    Life is one big adventure, and I have had the opportunity to spend a large amount of time chasing the sun, travelling between the northern and southern hemispheres. During this time, I have paddled the most extreme rapids, crossed several mountain ranges, and experienced a huge variety of cultures.

    What Fellow Travellers Say About Jamie

    Andy was kind, patient and considerate, as ever. He did an excellent job in finding us safe places to paddle when the conditions were wild and wooly, always making sure we were OK and up to the challenge ahead. His decision-making was spot on. He took the time to teach us about tide times, heights and flows, and often recounted stories of his own adventures in the area.

    Really excellent. Both Mike and Jamie brought an amazing range and depth of experience, but adapted themselves to the needs of each of us individually and as a group. I always felt very well guided and happy to ask for further advice. Apart from the landscape/seascape, they made this the great trip it was.

    Superb. Flexible to an extraordinary degree despite every possible challenge we threw at them. Great teaching. Felt my kayak skills progressed from 2 years ago. The mid morning brew on a golden deserted beach was a highlight.

    Appreciated Jaime’s attention to individual interests and needs. Great sense of humor and wonderful, youthful exuberance.. Truly enjoyed his historical insights and knowledge. Also, we now know what plants we could eat to survive!

    Jamie was so lovely, very friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. Very good driver too! He also offered alternative shorter walks which was great. I also enjoyed the new WhatsApp group so we could stay connected when doing different walks. We are still waiting for his bio on the Web ;+))

    Jamie was a wonderful guide. I could tell he put a lot of thought into aligning our outings with the needs and interests of our specific group. His knowledge of local history was especially impressive and added so much to the experience.

    Jamie was very knowledgable and if he didn;t know something he looked it up and told us the next day. He adapted due to the groups strengths and weaknesses, and the weather. It did not seem like he was sticking to a script that must be followed. He was genuinely interesting as a person with just the right amount of interaction with the group, i.e. not too overbearing and not stand-offish.

    We can't say enough good things about Jaime. He was organized, knowledgeable, patient, kind, proactive, etc., etc. If and when we book another trip through Wilderness England, we'd intentionally seek out a tour guided by Jaime. He is a true asset to your organization. Give him a raise.

    Jamie was a great guide. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. He gave us different options as to routes we could take. In particular we chose to do Helvellyn in opposite direction to that in the notes which was a much better route.

    I cannot tell you how highly I rated Jamie. Honestly… he made the trip in my eyes. He was incredibly competent, but wore his wisdom lightly… very responsive to our questions and requests, always offering to add things or change things to suit us. For example, a couple of us wanted to swim in the sea at the end of the day, so he drove us to a good spot and even came in too. He offered to source a local yoga teacher one evening which was amazing. He was polite and attentive, always offering stories or anecdotes, answering our many questions and showing us how to improve our technique. He made sure the pace was spot on, and included lots of opportunity to take in the incredible landscapes…stopping paddling to just look and listen. I also felt we were in very safe hands. At one point I hung back as we meandered around a coastline, to take a couple of photos, and I was out of sight of the group for about 30 secs. I predicted that he would have noticed immediately and gently checked I was ok. Which he did :). He made sure we had wonderful food prepared, and that we had all we needed while we were there. Honestly, he couldnt have been better. Please do pass on. I would happily be led by him on any trip in the future… he gave us lots of ideas for future trips which i’m already planning.
