Tania Deacon

Caring | Enthusiastic | Inquisitive

Mini Bio

I am now living the dream in my third career having worked in marketing, then as a teacher and now as an outdoor instructor, walking guide and leadership development facilitator. I am happiest when outdoors and preferably up a mountain, either on skis or on foot.

My love for Scotland developed when we lived in Edinburgh and then Perth. It’s such an amazing place to explore during any season of the year. I am now based in Southern England, but my car knows the route North very well!

Places to play

Assynt – North West Scotland!

My love of our landscape and mountains is best expressed by the pen of Norman MacCaig who enquired:
“Who possesses this landscape?
The man who bought it or
I who am possessed by it?”

Not a lot of people know this

I am fiercely competitive and have skied and windsurfed at a national level.

Life is an adventure!

Having an inquisitive mind, I love to have an understanding of everything around me. Flora and fauna and their surrounding landscapes fascinate me and I probably spend far too much time taking photos and Googling answers to questions!

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.
