Paul
Tattersall
Paul lives near Gairloch with his wife Angela and daughter Amy. He has been climbing for over 25 years, many of these spent in other parts of the world. Since moving to Wester Ross in 1997 Paul has developed many new rock climbing venues and has made first ascents of both summer and winter routes - some of which are the hardest in the area. He is well-known as a climber and also for being the first (and only) person to do a round of the Munros taking his mountain bike to all the summits. He is training officer of the Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team, has a BSc (Hons) in Geology from Sheffield University and holds the Mountain Instructors Award (MIA) as well as the Winter Mountain Leader Award. Together with Jim Buchanan he produces local climbing guides under the name of wildwesttopos. Paul has been working as a walking and climbing guide in Scotland since settling down here.

Over the 10 years he has lived in Wester Ross, he has helped developed several new climbing venues and has enjoyed climbing throughout the Hebrides and on trips to the US and Europe. He also competes in local long distance mountain runs.

He also holds the Summer and Winter Mountain Leader Awards. He lives in Dundonnell with his wife Helen and two children.
Murdo
Jamieson
The youngest member of the team, Murdoch is currently studying Sports Science at Glasgow University and in his well-earned term breaks can't get up the road fast enough to be back in Ross-shire and working for go further Scotland. He has been a keen hillwalker since his days in the Scouts and naturally progressed to rock climbing and mountaineering. He has boundless passion for the North West and who knows where his climbing will take him but he is a great asset to have around. He is a member of the Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team and holds the Summer Mountain Leader Award and the Single Pitch Award.
Andy
Cunningham
Andy is a fully qualified mountaineering instructor (MIC), gaining most of his early instructional experience during 10 years at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland’s national outdoor training centre. His personal mountaineering spans 25 years, and nearly as many countries, from Alaska to India, recording first ascents and first British ascents. However his first love remains the North West of Scotland where he has lived for the last 10 years in Ullapool, with his wife Jeni and three young sons. Andy is one of Scotland's most active climbers with many first ascents in both rock and winter climbing and is involved in training and assessing mountain instructors and leaders. With a background in forestry, studying at Aberdeen University, and many years birdwatching, he maintains a real interest in the Highland environment.
