Mini Bio

I’ve been lucky enough to live and work in the Scottish Highlands since leaving the Lake District as a young man. The Hills and lochs, mountains and humbling scenic landscapes have demanded my attention since a youngster. I have been privileged enough to use varied outdoor leadership skills and qualifications both nationally and internationally to maximise time sharing my excitement for mountains and wild places with others.

As a Mountain Bike Guide and Coach amongst other Outdoor Leadership disciplines, my passion lays in enabling others to experience, learn and develop their personal skill set. Travelling through the wondrous global mountainous environment on two wheels is my one true love and I get really excited to help others find theirs.

Negotiating the granite tores of the Scottish Cairngorms, winding through & over the peaks of the North West Coast & revitalising my Cumbrian accent in the Lovely Lake District.

Not a lot of people know this

I try to spend most of my time in the outdoor world with my wee family, my good friends new & old and also in my own company (which is great). But when I’m not out there with you all I take pride in serving my community of Inverness as a volunteer firefighter in the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service.
