What others say:

“I contacted Rich after I entering a self-navigating, multi-day race on the Pennine Way. Unsure of 'proper' navigation with a map and a compass, from years of using gpx files I decided it was time to learn the ropes and soak in all information that was available. Rich was absolutely excellent in delivering the know-how and expertise to help me not only self-navigate but to execute it with confidence. Charming, helpful and overflowing with information, Rich is the man to show you the way!” - Mike
