Our Team

Our Founder, Mark

I’m a passionate and experienced outdoor instructor with a strong background in leading adventurous training across hiking, wild camping, backpacking, and mountain biking. With a full (and long) career in the Royal Air Force, I bring decades of leadership and risk management expertise to every activity I deliver.

I regularly support RAF Air Cadets and service personnel with adventurous training, including Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, residential camps, and multi-day journeys—helping people build confidence, resilience, and a love for the outdoors.

I have nearly 40 years of personal experience in backpacking and wild camping, and I continue to lead hiking adventures across all types of terrain.

As an ultramarathon coach and competitor, I’ve supported runners to a 100% success rate and placed in the top 10 at events like the Winter Spine Sprint.

In addition to my outdoor leadership, I’m a 4th Dan Taekwondo instructor, certified by BMABA, teaching multiple weekly classes for students aged 7 to over 60 with a wide range of abilities. As a trained safeguarding lead, I ensure every session is inclusive, supportive, and delivered to the highest standards of care.
