He started walking and enjoying the outdoors in the Scouts and has continued ever since - for the past five years he has been walking seriously and is gets out on the hills whenever he can. His favourite areas are close to home at Glenshee and around Glen Clova. His all time favourite hill has to be Broad Cairn - it's probably the hill that he has climbed the most, starting when he was a young boy .
