Jordan

From the far north where there are no canyons. This guy is making up for it. Fairly new to canyoning but living and breathing it. Jordan is training up with us – watch this space, a guide in the making! His calm nature, easy smile and love of the outdoors makes him a natural choice for the team.

Euan

Wise beyond his years from a life on the road with his father engineering around the globe. Euan is originally from somewhere far north (Scotland i think they call it), but now lives in New Zealand. Euan has guided with us for five years now, learning his canyon guiding skills while he studied a Outdoor Adventure diploma and Unitech. Recently switching industries we will now see Euan for the occasional weekend canyon mission!

Steve

Steve guided in the canyon for one season, now back home in England he maintains our website for us!
