Will’s passion lies in leading long distance expeditions, both at home in Scotland and overseas. Starting aged 18, with a 10 month journey alone through New Zealand, and its Great Walks Will fell in love with remote wilderness travel. As a student, with a great friend, he crossed Iceland from south to north on foot, a 600km journey as part of a three month, extremely budget adventure.
As a kayaker, Will first developed a passion in paddling through on rivers of the north west Highlands of Scotland. Upon graduating university, Will set off on his biggest adventure so far, combining his love of long adventures with kayaking.
-Following this adventure Will first cut his teeth as a kayak guide in the windy waters of southern Patagonia. He now regularly bounces between Scotland and Patagonia following the summer seasons. In Scotland, Will owns and operates Kayak Summer Isles, a sea kayak company specialising in overnight adventures, coaching and coastal exploration.
Between coaching and guiding Will has completed numerous personal expeditions by sea kayak from a circumnavigation of Nordkapp in Northern Norway to over two thousand kilometres through the fjords of Patagonia, stretching from Puerto Eden to Puerto Williams over a number of expeditions. These expeditions have given him a local reputation for enjoying long and arduous portages in pursuit of paddling remote and spectacular areas of the fjords.
Will continues to develop and learn as a coach and guide from Scotland to Antarctica and looks forward to sharing new adventures and knowledge from the sea and rivers around the world.
