Meet Your Consultant

The consultation service is led by our in-house outdoors expert Dan Jones, a seasoned adventurer whose outdoor journey began in the British Army. With a childhood spent exploring the Bavarian Alps and a career shaped by international travel and endurance events, his passion for the outdoors runs deep.

Highlights include completing the 24-hour World’s Toughest Mudder event, representing the UK at the OCR World Championships, and conquering a 100-mile Ice Ultra across Lake Khovsgol in Mongolia.

Specialising in extreme cold environments, Dan's Arctic adventures include skiing across Norway’s largest plateau and embarking on winter wild camps in Sweden. He's also completed iconic UK hikes, including the West Highland Way, South Downs Way, and Cleveland Way.
