Jonny's mix of deep experience and infectious enthusiasm has made him my first choice outdoor instructor for over a decade. I learn so much in each session and always have a lot of fun at the same time.

Jonny is a really engaging instructor and works really hard to make sure everyone on the course is safe, learning loads and having a great time.  I highly recommend a course with the Highland Adventure School.
