Nick Etheridge (the Etherbeast)

Hi, I developed my love for the outdoors through skiing. I started skiing before I could walk and started ski teaching in 1991. Now employed by Basi (British Association of Snowsports Instructors) running Telemark instructor training courses.

Specialist areas include white water kayak play, winter ski touring and now enjoying sea kayaking expeditions for the last few years.

Mike Gale (the Otherbeast)

Hi, I never developed a love for the outdoors I just got into it for the sole purpose of being one better than Nick Etheridge. I started skiing before I could crawl and started ski teaching in 1990. Now employed by Wasi (World Association of Snowsports Instructors) running courses.

Specialist areas include being better than Nick at White water kayak play, ski touring and Telemarking and everything else except sea kayaking because that’s for old people.

Mark Ker

Mark is our Chief instructor/facilitator and is the current God of open boating in the world if not Aviemore. Marks other favourite pass times are playing the banjo, skinning animals and watching the film Deliverance!!!






Roy Henderson

Roy is our Chief badge collector. He has more qualifications than anyone in the world he has so many badges that he has two pairs of swimming trunks to sew his badges on. Roy is our God of Sea paddling and is the best sea paddle coach in the UK.



Dave Felce

Every outdoor company has an old mountain goat and Dave is ours! We are currently waiting for a full reconstruction on Dave's knees before we let him loose on the hills again. Dave is currently the G2 promotions and event organiser and all round heavy metal lunatic.




Jerry Craig

Jerry is currently our biggest instructor and could beat anyone hands down in a red wine drinking competition.








Charlie Lowath

Charlie has been our trainee for a couple of years and is currently our thinnest instructor preferring to spend money on mountain bikes and toys rather than on food.
