Summer Time


This summer has turned out to be a real roller coaster time (as life so often is!) with some excellent and varied work.
Throughout the last few months i've continued to work at a lot with Wilderness Scotland on their excellent Sea Kayking trips, and these have definately been on of the highlights of my season. In addition to their Sea kayaking, i've been lucky enough to guide some of their bespoke walking holidays for a range of clients, all who have been lovely and a pleasure to work with.


I have also had a few days at the end of June working with Glenmore Lodge at the Royal Highland
show. This was an awesome experience to work along side such highly qualified and experienced instructors and represent such a prestigious organization. Running an climbing wall at an event such as the highland show is outside of the norm for a centre as the Lodge, but recieved incredible feedback and thanks from the general public. "Inspiring Adventure" is a really important part of why i choose to do this job and it was fantastic to have hopefully inspired hundreds of young folk and their parents to go and discover more of what outdoor sport has to offer.
I have continued to work on a lot of D of E courses and again it's been a pleasure to work with some fantastic groups and introduce them to the mountains.
With the summer rapidly drawing to a close it leaves me seeking more steady employment again for the winter. I hope to remain in Scotland to continue working toward more advanced qualifications and enjoying being in the beauty of the Scottish mountains.
