Charlie

I've been working in the outdoors for over ten years. I started as a snowboard instructor after taking a divertion from a teaching career. Since then I've worked and guided a range of sports all over the world and gained several qualifications. I moved to the Highlands in 2013 and have never looked back spending the time exploring all the Highlands has to offer and sharing my passion for the outdoors with clients in environments from rivers to mountains.

I have also completed a MSc in Sustainable Mountain Development in 2021 which has given me a greater appreciation of the diversity of the landscape in which I operate.
My business is all about offering unique experiences in the Highlands with a focus on limiting impact and increasing awareness of the environment. Sustainability is the ultimate focus from considering where I operate down to the equipment I purchase.
