Neil spends nearly every spare moment involved in a large range of outdoor activities. He has been a climbing instructor, mountain bike guide, and a caver who has explored new passages in one of Britain’s most difficult caves. He is a qualified yacht skipper and has worked internationally undertaking yacht delivery.
He has mountaineered at high altitudes in the Andes and Europe, and is still often found at a crag, Welsh mountain bike trail, or sleeping out somewhere wild under the stars.
Neil read physical geography and geology at The University of Nottingham winning the university’s physical geography prize in his graduation year. Neil still has an active interest in all things geographical and environmental. On his first expedition with the Arctic Research Group in 2023 to Recherchefjord, Neil undertook a project to photographically record the condition of several archeological sites to enable 3D images to be compiled from the dozens of images he took. In addition, Neil used a photographic drone to augment the recording of the expedition and the projects carried out.
