Tim Gee
“Forever the Boy Scout” Tim Gee was raised in a Midlands mining community and was always outdoors as a child exploring the local woods, fields and agricultural land. An active member of the scouting association at a young age created a sense of adventure and curiosity in later life.
Tim has travelled extensively across the UK and around the World and has been involved in many adventurous activities. Living and working in Australia teaching Scuba Diving on the Great Barrier Reef, also travelling through South East Asia in 1996-97. Returning to do a round the world trip over 12 months in 2000/2001 and over 12 countries including trekking through the Himalayas, Andes and Amazon, driving the entire west coast of Australia to mention a few things. Also traversed almost all of the Pyrenees Haute Route (HRP) and many of the highest mountains across the UK.
Whilst working in information technology for over 30 years including Microsoft and Apple, Tim never lost connection with the outdoors and started to hone his outdoor skills through qualified courses in his free time from 2017 taking advantage of the experience previously gained. Tim is also a volunteer coach and mentor for sports and outdoors in his local community.
