Originally from Whaley Bridge on the edge of the Peak District I now live in Buxton, where I can also usually be found leading walking groups in the Peak District and beyond, as well as working and leading outdoor event safety teams. I also volunteer as a Community First Responder. A keen climber, I also enjoy trail running and cycling, keep bees, and possesses an enquiring knowledge of both lowland and upland flora and fauna.

Originally from Whaley Bridge on the edge of the Peak District I now live in Suffolk, where I own and run Dog-go! a dog walking business that also specialises in taking owners on dog friendly walks exploring the Broads, and the East Anglian coastline and countryside.
In addition I can also usually be found leading walking groups in the Peak District (with and without dogs!) as well as working on outdoor event safety teams.
A keen trail runner, I also enjoy cycling and climbing, keep bees, and possesses an enquiring knowledge of both lowland and upland flora and fauna.
I have known John for several years. Over this time his experience, knowledge and skills has developed. Throughout his Quality Days training, building up to the Moorland Leader Award, he has assisted and led (under supervision pre-award) in the guiding of groups in upland and moorland terrain. He is a extremely competent leader, always conscious of group safety with sound judgement in dynamic risk assessment situations. His interaction with clients is focused upon their enjoyment, good humour and sharing his enquiring knowledge of upland flora and fauna. This is borne out with excellent feedback for him, which I unreservedly endorse.
