    Mini Bio

    After a lifetime in industry, I chose to retire at 52 and finally pursue the adventures I had always dreamed of. For the past 15 years, I’ve been guiding across the world, spending a great deal of time in Scotland—particularly in Shetland, Orkney, and the Hebrides.

    At home in the English Lake District, I find endless joy in walking the high fells with my cocker spaniel, immersing myself in the ever-changing landscape and the wildlife that surrounds me.

    Favourite Place to Play

    I love Shetland and Orkney because of the remoteness, wildlife, geology, and archaeology, but I have never yet had a suntan!

    Not a lot of People Know This

    I spend a lot of time on golf courses, and once managed to beat Sir Nick Faldo at Wentworth in a social game, although I did receive a few extra shots compared to Nick!

    Make Trip Private

    Sometimes it's nice to get family and friends together and travel privately for some quality time. This means you benefit from all the features of the group departure, including hand-picked accommodation and expert local guides and we'll take care of it all. Then you can make your choice of departures dates and we'll get back to you to finalise the details.

    We work together with our team of guides to decide which departures they lead each year. As part of that, guides provide available dates that they are free to be booked. This means that any of the dates you see in the first field of the form below, could be perfect for your private departure or customised tour.
