BOB MCLACHLAN

GUIDE

Alongside Fresh Adventures, Bob runs his own business providing training programmes, plus coaching for multisport and adventure racing athletes and specialising in multisport kayak tuition.

​

The kind of practical man you’d be happy to be stranded on a deserted island with, Bob is a qualified guide in rafting, pack rafting, stand-up paddle boarding, and hiking. He also holds advanced first aid qualifications.

​

Bob is a firm favourite with clients. An experienced and intuitive guide, he is passionate about guiding wilderness adventures that leave a lasting impression. He loves nothing more than helping clients escape their daily, stressful routines – down their mobile phones – and share good-for-the-soul outdoors experiences with their friends, family or colleagues.
