George is a BC UKCC Level 3 Advanced Water Endorsed Sea Kayak Coach and Guide, ISKGA Paddling in Ice module.  

George was brought up in the south of England but now lives in the Isle of Man.    

 

 

His specialty is coaching in exciting, rough, more advanced conditions, however as an all round coach and guide, he loves every aspects of the sport.

His accomplishments and experience include expeditions in a variety locations and environments,  with a major unsuported expedition to the Aleutian Islands.

George has also been involved in and now regularly runs expeditions to Norway (Lofoten Islands and Tromso), Outer Hebrides, Skye and Shetland..

He has also completed various major open crossings through out the British Isles and Ireland, and in his spare time likes nothing more than playing in tide races and surfing in sea and surf kayaks.

George loves leading, assisting and planning ‘new’ trips.

In 2022 he helped guide a trip with me to Gino Watkins BAARE 1932 base camp - an amazing adventure outside my usual area of operation.  

He came back out in 2023, guiding on several expeditions and a longer term film project which will also take us back to Lake Fjord in 2024. 

Future plans are on the drawing board - George has the bug, and will no doubt be out with me every summer at some point or another.
