YOUR INSTRUCTOR
JONNY HAWKINS
HEAD INSTRUCTOR
Jonny has been adventuring and instructing in the outdoors for over 10 years. He started kayaking at his local canoe club when he was 14 and then learned how to rock climb whilst whilst working at an outdoor centre before attending university. Jonny is a practitioner first and instructor second, drawing upon a wealth of experience to help you learn as much as possible.
He first visited Scotland to study at the University of St Andrew's as it was close to so many stunning rivers and mountains. He has been paddling and mountaineering in Scotland ever since.
Jonny is passionate in helping people enjoy the outdoors as much as he does and loves helping people work towards their goals. He prides himself on his relaxed and friendly approach, whilst teaching the most up to date information in a safe and
supportive manner.
He looks forward to meeting you and helping you reach your outdoor goals!
