I have been working as an outdoor educator since 2004, before which I taught Science in secondary schools in London. I moved to Glasgow with my partner in 2006, and have been exploring the glens and the high tops ever since.

I am a firm believer that adventurous experiences in the outdoors, with the challenge  of all the different environments and weather which that entails, can help people to live happier, more fulfilled lives. If you want to see for yourself, then why not come with me?
