Mini Bio

Settled now in Cumbria, England. The Lake District National Park is a place I love for work and play. Originally from Devon and brought up in Wiltshire I also spent time living in the Scottish Highlands, working for Outward Bound Loch Eil. So, Outdoor Education and personal development work is within my very core.

Over my career I have worked with both adults and young people helping folks learn and grow in some amazing places; from Nepal and Peru to Norway and Poland.  In recent years I have guided a lot in Northern England and love enabling guests to get the very most out of their holiday.

To balance my guiding I am also in the process of writing a novel and renovating my home – and on the odd spare moment, I might just be found swimming in a lake or paddling my kayak.

My office has been the great outdoors for 25 years. My background is within personal and professional development both in the UK and abroad – working with adults and children – both on land, water and longer expeditions.

What Fellow Travellers Say About Jo

Great team. Taxis and other timing was impressive. They were responsive to the group and individual needs as much as possible.

The guides were very knowledgeable regarding the route and facilities. They had a lovely way of sharing information and helped create a fun/easy-going atmosphere for all the walkers. They always checked-in to see if everything was going well, and would offer options as appropriate.

Jo and Nat were excellent guides, a good source of information on the areas we were travelling through, made excellent coffee, and looked after us very well.

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.
