    Mini Bio

    Born and raised in Belfast, my love for adventure began with BMX racing and watching BMX Bandits back in the day! I started racing road and mountain bikes at the age of 12, and since then, I’ve cycled and raced all over Ireland, England, Scotland, and Europe, embracing every challenge on two wheels. When I’m not cycling, you’ll find me hiking, climbing, or diving into the wild waters of Ireland, always seeking new ways to connect with nature.

    As a Wilderness Ireland guide, I’m excited to share my passion for the outdoors and the beauty of this island with you.

    Favourite Place to Play

    For cycling, it has to be the North Coast of Ireland. It offers spectacular scenery and views with never-ending beauty and hills. For hiking and climbing, the majestic Mourne Mountains offer breathtaking natural beauty, where you can truly be at one with nature.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    The main reason I love cycling and hiking is that I love going uphill. I love hills–the longer and steeper, the better!
