Hillwalking and Backpacking Tuition
I’m a fully qualified International Mountain Leader with over 12 years of experience hiking across places like the Caucasus Mountains, the Alps and the Balkans.
If I’ve learnt one thing, it’s that we all belong outside no matter where we come from.
Maybe I can help you along your own outdoor journey?
Navigation
Finding your own way in the hills can feel daunting at first.
With a few simple but powerful skills, you’ll learn how to read the landscape for yourself whilst planning your own routes. Then you can leave the crowded paths behind…
Book a one-on-one session, or join a group workshop.
Multi-day backpacking
Learning how to look after yourself on a long-distance hike means unlocking endless future trips, and memories that you’ll cherish forever.
Discover how to wild camp in the mountains, plan your own multi-day routes, and choose what to pack (it’s not as much as you think!).
If you’ve got a goal or a trip in mind, please get in touch.

Crossing The Caucasus
Discovering kindness in a mountain range divided by politics.
Crossing The Alps
A backpacking and mountaineering traverse of the Alps from Slovenia to Monaco. My journey linked hiking trails, scrambles, via ferratas and climbing routes. 61 days, 1900km in distance and over 125,000m of ascent.
