Hi and welcome to my web site. I am a writer and walking guide who snaps away with the ‘box brownie’ when I can. I combine my passion for the outdoors with a desire to help others get the most from the outdoors, whatever their sport.
For the past seven years I have run The Silva Navigation School which teaches navigation skills to outdoor enthusiasts like walkers, Trec horse riders, mountain bikers and fell runners.
I have written three books for the outdoor book publishers Cicerone and have contributed to many outdoor magazines over the past twenty years. My specialism is, perhaps unsurprisingly, navigation!
I also lead guided walking holidays around the world for Spencer Scott Travel. For the past 20 years I have had the privilege to visit many stunning places around the world. A selection of photographs can be found in the gallery.
When I am not outdoors I design web sites and am a director of Taste Tideswell, a bold community venture to promote my home village of Tideswell as a food destination. I also edit the village newsletter The Village Voice.
