      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.

      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 2745-mile long mountain bike race from Canada to Mexico.

      Biggest Adventure Read More

      In 2011 I biked the ‘Tour Divide’, a 2750 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.

      Specialist Subject Read More

      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.

      Our guide Will was amazing! Couldn’t have wished for anyone else. He really cared about everyone in the group, provided insane insights to Scotland and the places we’ve been to. The way thought ahead and guided us was just brilliant!

      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.

      Our guide Will was really excellent. Hard working, thoughtful, flexible and fun. Not only this Will has an excellent knowledge of the History and Geography of the area which he shared with us, this certainly enhanced our experience.

      The guides, Simon and Will, were really top notch, adjusting to some difficulties with ferry schedules, providing great coffees and lunch breaks, and generally keeping us moving and on top of logistics....

      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.
