About Kevin Albin

I spent 25 exciting years in the police service in the UK but have always been active in the outdoors. It was a natural choice to have a second career working as an outdoor instructor, and guiding in the mountains and on expeditions.

I hold the Summer, Winter, and International Mountain Leader Awards and I am a member of the British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML). This association ensures that its members are qualified and up to date in their knowledge and experience.

I believe that life is about experiences, both those we have and those we impart on others. Travelling in the mountains or other environments is a great way to have new experiences and to encounter new people. I also have a passion for nature, which never ceases to amaze me in its beauty, complexity and balance. So, I'm very much in the ideal job!

I also enjoy photography and writing, intending to write for outdoor magazines. I recently self-published a young adult fantasy novel, Stone Child, as an eBook.

Working freelance for other companies has given me the chance to lead expeditions to Morocco, Borneo, Venezuela, Tanzania, India, and Belize. This includes some conservation work in Borneo, spending six months in the rainforest, which is one of my personal favourite environments.

Please feel free to contact me whether you want a trip putting together and guided or you are an employer looking for an expedition leader. Maybe it's just a chat to chew over an idea; I am very willing to be involved.

All the best! Kevin
