YOUR GUIDE TO BRITAIN'S WILD SIDE

Hi, I’m James. I’m a walk leader, storyteller and land raver with a dream: for you to spend more time in the Great British outdoors.

​

We live in one of the most beautiful and enchanted countries in the world. Millions of people come here each year to see it for themselves. There is myth, magic and treasure in every tree, river and rock - and I’m here to help you find it.

​

If you want to explore the real Britain beyond the flag; if you want to see it’s best places and hear it’s juiciest stories; if you want to reclaim your joy, health and attention span; if you want to gather the power to save our home from destruction and injustice; or if you just want some fun for free; then you’ve come to the right place.
