    Mini Bio

    I am most at home in the mountains and wild places, and I love inspiring others in our beautiful countryside and with our wildlife.

    I have had various jobs over the years, from travelling to Madagascar with a BBC film crew searching for the world’s rarest duck to writing the countryside code for England and Wales. For years, I have also taken groups out on expeditions and adventures around the globe. I always spend at least six weeks of the year in the UK as it is one of the finest places to be.

    Favourite Place to Play

    It’s hard to choose – The Outer Hebrides is like a miniature Scotland with bells on.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    I used to ride a horse out of Buckingham Palace and along the Mall each Tuesday evening.

    What Fellow Travellers Say About Lucy

    Lucy was a lovely person with fabulous stories and we really enjoyed her company. She was a great guide on the trails and paced us well. She was very open to feedback and did her best to adapt to the needs of the group.
    When she didn't know that answer to any question, she always looked it up and found it for us.
    We would have liked some more information on the culture and history of the places we were visiting but accept that not every guide can be both a mountaineer and a historian.

    Lucy was the best. We were in good hands as she knew the areas on our hike well and able to adapt to weather & tired bodies. She shared many of her travel adventures, very interesting

    I would have enjoyed a little more information and history, but Lucy was good about looking up all answers to my questions. She was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals of the area!

    Lucy is a marvel. She used her knowledge of the area and experience with other groups to adjust to the conditions of the day and the needs and wishes of the group. (See my earlier comments on lunches!) When rain was expected in the afternoon, for example, she moved the hiking part of the outing to maximize our time outside in dry weather. When we all felt chipper one morning, she moved the starting point of our hike a few kilometers farther from our final destination so that we got to enjoy more of the scenery. She knows the area so well that she was able to provide lots of background information (one day, for example, she pointed out a rock formation where she planned to go climbing the following weekend). And there is no matching her for funny stories!!

    Our guide Lucy was exceptional. Her knowledge of the area was excellent and her flexibility to adapt to different situations and every person’s individual requests was very much appreciated. Nothing was a problem for her. Great personality and patience.

    Lucy was a warm, engaging and knowledgeable guide. Her ability to ensure that every member of the group was able to participate as much as they were able in the walks was outstanding.

    Lucy was amazing. She adjusted schedules, dealt with many transportation issues and generally solved problems of all sorts without ever seeming the least bit bothered. She was supportive and encouraging and generally one of the best guides we have ever had, and we have done a lot of hiking trips (more than 20).

    Lucy was very clear each day on the activities planned and if any other options were available to choose from to better accommodate preferences of the clients.

    Lucy was amazing. She experienced obstacles at the outset but managed very effectively (the van was in an accident before we arrived so she had to make other transportation arrangements (it seemed seamless to us). She easily accommodated everyone's needs and levels of hiking. She was entertaining and very thoughtful in her choices. We have been on numerous trips and we must say that she might have been the best guide ever.

    Lucy went over and above to make the loss of our van at the beginning of our trip a non-event for us. She worked her tail off making transportation seem seamless to the traveler

    Lucy was outstanding! She went out of her way to make sure we did, explored, and found each of our wants. Lucy researched and recommended alternatives each night to meet the groups desired; each time improving our experiences.
