Richard - loves to get out there and amongst it. His wealth of experience ranges from cycling across the Tibetan Plateau, to swimming the English Channel as part of a relay team. Richard had the original idea for the Cafe whilst pedalling through Iran in 1999, it may have taken a while - but eventually the Cafe became reality... and now he spends his time leading groups, enthusing others towards the world of Adventure, and trying to design itineraries that help people access the great outdoors safely and help them to develop a passion for our fantastic planet! Richard has recently been accepted as a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, and is currently working on his lead climbing skills.

Hassan- runs the majority of our itineraries in Morocco - born in the mountains, lives in the mountains .... and most at home in the mountains. we even met him first - you guessed it - In The Mountains! His father , and his fathers father were all from the atlas Mountains - and he is a truly safe and reliable pair of hands for both trekking, and discovery trips as well as desert and cycling itineraries. What you probably wouldn't guess - is that Hassan is also a ski instructor! He has climbed Mount Toubkal more times than you have probably walked to the shops... and he has his own troop of donkies! He is a well respected member of his village.... no-one knows the area of Toubkal like our man Hassan!
