    Raised in Cornwall, Jonny has been immersed in paddling from an early age. His passion for exploration and sharing that experience with others is what inspired the founding of Passage Guiding.

    Jonny holds a variety of professional qualifications, including Advanced Sea Kayak Leader and Mountain Leader. His extensive experience as an Expedition Guide and Instructor spans multiple countries and continents from Antarctica to Norway.

    In addition to leading others, Jonny has undertaken many personal expeditions by bike, foot, and kayak. Highlights include a solo, unsupported navigation of the entire Cornish coast by sea kayak, as well as a complete circumnavigation of Iceland by bike.
