    Mini Bio

    I love the UK’s wild places and cycling through them. When I’m not on my bike I also enjoy sea kayaking and hill walking. After over a decade of leading overseas expeditions to Asia, Africa and Latin America combined with teaching Geography, I’ve become about as settled down as a tour guide can ever be, living in the UK, although still like to venture overseas. I guided a sensory impairment charity trek to Kilimanjaro in June 2014.

    Working for the Wilderness group has given me the opportunity to share the outstanding natural beauty of a world-class destination. The landscape and culture is unsurpassed. If I had to choose a favourite trip it would be quite difficult as it’s always a privilege to experience any journey in our remote surroundings with amicable, like-minded people.

    Favourite Place to Play

    Biking in the far north. Empty roads and wild trails.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    I was the first person from Scotland to complete the ‘Tour Divide’, a 2,745-mile long mountain bike race from Canada to Mexico.

    As well as working in Outdoor Education and the Leisure industry for many decades I have been a Teacher of Geography and led over 20 school expeditions abroad. I’m now a Senior Guide with the Wilderness Group, mostly on cycle trips during the summer but continue to work as a Teacher with Special Educational Needs groups during the winter.

    Biggest Adventure Read More

    In 2011 I biked the ‘Tour Divide’, a 2,750 mile race from Banff, Canada to the Mexican border along the USA Continental Divide. This was my biggest physical adventure. My most rewarding adventure was helping to guide a friend who was both deaf and visually impaired up to the summit of Kilimanjaro in 2014.

    I have a degree in Environmental Geography. My knowledge of flora and fauna is also improving every year. Every day I’m out with Wilderness is a school day.

    Will was an amazing guide. He went the extra mile and helped find stuff to do when it was raining. He drove me ahead when I had to work. He made the trip worth it for a none biker.

    Both Will and Cube were brilliant. We have been on many similar trips with other companies and these two were up there with the best. Good guides really make the trip and nothing was too much for them. An important aspect was telling us what each day would involve and sticking to timings on leaving in the morning and for stops without making us feel rushed. Two lovely guys with humor and empathy.

    Will was a shining light; knowledgeable, enthusiastic, interested in the group and how we experienced the locatiobs and walks respectful, perhaps a little shy when he had to assist some of us up a rocky cliff; sometimes a shove is appropriate!
    We were lucky to have him.
