Proprietor  - Ian Macfarlane (+Son)

Summer Mountain Leader (SML) , Trail Side Leader, and  assessed as being competent in Basic Bushcraft by IOL, BASP First Aid Trained

I am an outdoors enthusiast  who over the last  20yrs has gathered a diverse range of skills and interests.    I have found that as I have aged I have become more and more aware of the wonders of nature.  This has led me to  bushcraft . Bushcraft is a limitless subject area with many areas of speciality making sure that a lifetime is not enough to understand it all.  It also  complements my other interests such as Canadian Canoeing,  (I hope to introduce this activity at a later date), Fly Fishing, Hill walking and Mountain Biking.  My vision is  to bring people closer to nature through outdoor pursuits and just maybe closer to themselves.

 

 

For 4 years I volunteered as a Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition organiser and for my last 7 yrs I have been a Scout Leader with my local group , 54th Perthshire.  I have also worked with Fairbridge (A company working in deprived areas  with Youths  in the Outdoors).  In addition I have worked with a large Corporate Team Building Company and spent 2 seasons working as a Sailing and Windsurfing Instructor .  Between all this work I gained an Honours degree in Risk Management at the Caledonian University  and resurrected and ran the Hill walking Club. 

My own expeditions have taken me from Canadian Canoe adventures in Scotland to Ski Mountaineering in the Alps.
