Your guide

Feel at home in wild places

I’m a qualified Mountain Leader and active member of Longtown Mountain Rescue Team, offering high-quality navigation training, guided walks, and bespoke support for those exploring the mountains — whether you’re on a personal journey or a creative one.

From relaxed one-day introductions to 1:1 coaching and practical refreshers, I help you feel confident and capable in the hills. I work with walkers of all levels, as well as photographers, artists, and content creators looking for safe, supported access to beautiful places.

Courses are small, personal, and rooted in real experience — with space to ask questions, practice skills, and enjoy the landscapes.
