I organise and guide small group activity holidays for English speaking people in the French Pyrenees under the name of Marmot Tours Ltd. I spend the winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, the spring and autumn on the road and Mountain bikes and the heat of the summer trekking along the ridges of the high mountains.
Before moving to the Pyrenees in 2003 I guided walking and mountain biking holidays for Exodus Travels taking me to Peru, Cuba, Morocco, Tanzania, Vietnam, China, Nepal, India, Jordan, Israel, Romania, Italy, Portugal, Spain and France.
I am a qualified International Mountain Leader (IML) and a Snowsport England Nordic Skiing Instructor.
