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’m also the owner of www.fengshan.info  its about a really nice place in Guangxi province South China.
