GUIDING
One Week in Scotland - October 2018
for Ben Jones MTB Adventure
A 6-day tour of technical bridal paths in Torridon and Cairngorms with a group of seven Canadians. The Ben MacDui mountain was cold and windy as heck, but provided a very exciting end to their trip and ticked off the longest descent in the UK.
Wales Weekend - September 2018
for Carbon Monkey
A two-day event with four lads from Surrey. The trip was supposed to incorporate Snowdon, but was sadly too windy and dangerous on the day, so we made alternative plans. We still got a hike-a-bike in and plenty of technical bridal paths to quench their thirst for adventure.
The Alps - 30 Jun - 30 August
for Ben Jones MTB Adventure
Six days a week guiding groups of seven around the more "off grid" trails surrounding Mont Blanc, including France, Italy and Switzerland. Myself and my colleague would alternate between guiding and driving the 9-seater van with a bike trailer on the back. It was on of the best Summers of my life!
The Lake District - May 2018
2-Day, including Hellvelyn
Day two included a tough 40km loop that took in Hellvelyn (a big hike up and a technical descent down) and had to finish in time to get the water ferry back to our vehicles. It was a success, and one of the clearest days ever witnessed up there!
Three Weeks in Scotland - May 2018
for Ben Jones MTB Adventure
Planned by Ben, we had three 4-day trips to execute in Cairngorms and Torridon. It was a point-to-point, which involved us coordinating the 9-seater van and bike trailer to start and finish locations as well as guiding the group. Each group was treated to some of the most famous descents in Scotland and we had sunny skies every day, except the last.
