      Mini Bio

      For as long as I can remember, I have loved and been passionate about the outdoors and travelling, having spent the last 11 years as a freelance mountain leader and instructor. It brings me immense pleasure to introduce people to the outdoors and teach them the skills to become proficient enough to have the confidence to get out and have their own adventures.

      Favourite Place to Play

      There are far too many spectacular places in Ireland to name one particular favourite but I always appreciate the Dingle, Beara and Sheeps Head Peninsulas every time I visit. I’m currently getting great satisfaction out of driving along the Wild Atlantic Way and discovering hidden gems in my van ‘Jesse’.

      Not a lot of People Know This

      I’m an avid allotmenteer and have been growing my own veggies now for the last 13 years… Although I’ve probably fed more slugs than myself!

      I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to many places. Favorites include the Dolomites in Italy and Utah in the US. I also once camped and walked the Haute route which is a great way to see Switzerland as well as cycling the Eurovelo 15 along the river Rhine.

      Julie was fantastic. Lots of fun, took her role seriously and clearly loves Irreland and hiking. She was helpful and positive all the time. She took time with each member of the group.
      A real super star.
      I did think the daily descriptions could have had a few more details.

      Drenis was excellent. One of the top guides we have been privileged to have over several hiking trips in Europe. Kind, thoughtful, respectful, insightful and knowledgeable - all we could have asked for and more.
