Alison French is a qualified BCU (British Canoe Union) level 3 Sea Kayak instructor with almost ten years of paddling experience under her belt. This, combined with her Summer Mountain Leader award, has enabled her to enjoy leading groups in the outdoors for many years, sharing her passion for the Highlands of Scotland and teaching skills that ensure clients have an exceptional experience. Alison is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and previously worked as a Countryside Ranger, so she has a wealth of knowledge about the local area and wildlife. Trained by some of the best instructors in the industry, she has worked as an instructor for the National Trust for Scotland, as a freelance instructor at Scotland's National Outdoor Training Centre (Glenmore Lodge) and other outdoor activity providers, and also works voluntarily in the community for Highland Council. She is also one of the coaches at the annual Scottish Women's Paddle Symposium.
Alison moved to the Highlands from the south of England where she grew up. Here she had a career in sales and marketing in the pharmaceutical industry, most notably GlaxoSmithKline and more recently with the National Trust for Scotland. She lives in the idyllic crofting village of Drumbuie, and when she's not kayaking, still enjoys being out on the water either sailing or surf kayaking, or perhaps walking the local hills.
