      Mini Bio

      I was brought up in the south of England in a sailing family. I have a lifelong passion for nature, but it was when I discovered the Scottish mountains that I found my direction in life.

      After spending the late nineties and the noughties absorbed in personal adventures and a passion for rock climbing, I became a hiking guide in 2008. These days, I specialise in hiking, cycling, and open canoeing in Scotland and the UK.

      Favourite Place to Play

      The mountains of the Scotland are my summer playground. There are endless possibilities for achievable adventures, with a wonderful natural backdrop just waiting to be discovered.

      Not a lot of People Know This

      When the clocks go back, I go south like the birds to my winter playground in the French Pyrenees.

      What Fellow Travellers Say About Peter

      Peter was fantastic!

      Overall, Peter did a great job. He knew the area of our hikes, could identify wildlife, was a very safe driver, and overall very laid back. One area that could be improved was adjusting the hikes pacing so that we could be back at the inns by 4:00 so that we had some downtime before dinner. Perhaps starting the day before 9:00 would help.

      Pete Myers was an amazing Guide! Arrived in good time to meet us on arrival in Lerwick and then took us for a coffee at a local cafe so the group could introduce themselves. A very engaging, knowledgeable, friendly and highly experienced professional. I suffer from vertigo and he was very empathetic along our cliff walks - his kind encouragement enabled me to complete our hikes which I probably wouldn’t have done on my own. Pete had a great sense of humour too. That and his excellent taste in music made Pete an A* Guide!

      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.
