Go Mountain Goats is about sharing positivity and enthusiasm for mountain experiences

Photography - I welcome the challenge of trying to document fast-paced mountain activities ‘on the fly’ whilst also being a participant. This isn’t always easy as the need to keep up can take the focus away from photography, and weather or light conditions often present a challenge of their own. See PHOTOGRAPHY
Words - my original blog here documents some of my earlier ‘Fastest Known Time’ challenges - from the Cuillin Ridge Traverse record in 2013 to more esoteric endeavours such as my ‘All Grade 1 Winter Climbs on Ben Nevis’ linkup. More recently I have also written about ski mountaineering, European sky running and the environment. See WORDS
Art - my acrylic on canvas artwork uses bright colours and bold, blocky designs.
Most of this artwork was produced between 2010-2015 and this period culminated in my ‘Kalaedoscape’ exhibition at the John Muir Trust Wild Space in Pitlochry in 2016.
Currently I have art on display and for sale in The Wildcat Cafe, Fort William.
