I have been an outdoor enthusiast for 35 years, starting out rock climbing and mountaineering. I discovered mountain biking 30 years ago and have been on one ever since. I do venture onto road for training and have entered a few triathlons including the Big Ben Tri. I am passionate about leaving no trace and respecting the places I visit and travel through for future generations to enjoy.
I moved to Aviemore 2 years ago from the central belt of Scotland and often wonder why I didn’t do it years ago. The opportunities for doorstep adventures and micro adventure are endless.
Too many to mention but exploring Cairngorms by bike and the single track at Badaguish.
I was born in the QEII ….. the name of the hospital in Welwyn Garden City so yes I am English.
British Cycling Level 2 coach with DSUs in Mountain Bike and Cyclocross.
MBLA Trails cycle, mountain bike, expedition, night and winter leader.
Velotec Silver.
Walking and climbing
Climbed 90 plus munros but none for a few years. Rock climbed to British grade 6b and ice climbed Grey Mares Tail and several routes on the Ben.
Biking
I have been a qualified cycling coach for 10 years and guide for 8 years.
Mountain biked for 30 years the last 10 years I have been doing a lot of mountain routes and more technical riding on Enduro style trails and down hill tracks. I have been a keen bike packer over the last few years and have run quite a few trips for adults and kids oh and made a film last year The Cairngorms are Calling. I have also road bike for training and have entered triathlons including half iron man distance like the Big Ben Tri. I have also ridden lots of sportives including the Fred Whitton
Cairngorm loop over 3 days.
Mountain biking and bikes in general.

Top marks for Neil. He was friendly, encouraging and an excellent driver. He sorted out the van issue at the start and the issue re faulty e bike. Was always there for us and worked very hard to make the holiday the great success it was.
