I have been walking in the British Isles since the early nineties. Since 2014 I have been leading walks and putting new tours together for German tour operators (specialised on walking tours: www.boundless-reisen.de, www.highländer-reisen.de) mostly in Britain and partly in Ireland.
So for 6 years out of the last 8 years (nothing happend in 2020 and 2021 thanks to Covid) I have been pretty much walking 5 days a week from April til October, either leading walks or doing recce for new walks. Most of them are lowland walks, some of them hill & moorland walks - most of them are in Britain, some in Ireland. Up until 2017 I also did a few weeks of walking tours in Iceland each summer. 2014-2016 I spend the winters in New Zealand as a driver-guide for walking tours, so also leading tours and walks whilst there. Iceland (groups up to 8 pax) and New Zealand (up to 13 pax) were camping holidays, Britain (up to 16 pax) and Ireland (up to 18 pax) are with hotel accommodation.
In 2020 I moved from Germany to Britain and started to work on my British qualifications for leading walks based here. In 2021 I passed the assessment for the Lowland Leader Award and started training for the Hill and Moorland Leader Award, which I hope to be assessed for mid of March 2022. I an very lucky to be based in the Breacon Beacons!
