    Mini Bio

    I retired from the fire service in 2018 after 30 years of having fun for a living and doing things that others would normally pay to do. I couldn’t stop there, so I decided to get qualified in all the outdoor stuff that I enjoy, with the view to a second stage in my working life. I have always enjoyed the outdoors, whether it be diving off the British coast and around the world with BSAC, mountain walking, climbing, or any water sports.

    Currently, I work at outdoor centres, lead Duke of Edinburgh activities and expeditions around Britain and abroad, and am a member of the Longtown Mountain rescue team in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).

    Favourite Place to Play

    When I can, I love to get out in any of the mountain regions of the UK, but have a particular love for The Lake District.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    I like snails.

    Over the years, I have spent time on expeditions and treks in Chile, India, and Canada and have trained firefighters in The Gambia.

    Biggest Adventure Read More

    One of my favourite adventures was in my twenties, when I spent four months in Southern Chile with Operation Raleigh. We helped locals build bridges across glacial water and sheds in the villages, and we trekked through the Andes. On one trek, we came across an old fisherman in the middle of nowhere. He invited us into his shack, which had a chair, a stove… and a picture of Margaret Thatcher on his wall!

    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.
