About

Overview

 
 
 
 
I’m from a small village situated in the West midlands of England, Herefordshire. Ever since I left home just before my 18th birthday I have been studying, guiding and training people in all kinds of outdoor activities. I have lived in many places throughout the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and China.
 

I have created this website: Colours of Discovery to display photos, and Discuss my thoughts and ideas.

I also maintain junshanclimber.com a website for traditional Climbing in Laojunshan, Yunnan Provice, China.

I’m the owner of www.fengshan.info its about a really nice place in Guangxi province South China.
This is rather out of date now as I have not had time to visit for a few years!
