About Alan

Welcome to Alan Kimber Outdoors

I’ve been instructing and guiding in the mountains of Scotland since 1970. In 2013 I handed on the business, West Coast Mountain Guides and at the moment after various owners it’s in the capable hands of Matt Pavitt!

So why another web site? I hear you ask! I still climb and work as an ‘occasional‘ mountain instructor/guide, but with much less admin and more time to enjoy the outdoors.

I will be using this site and blog to indulge my enthusiasm for photography in the outdoors and various activities, from cycle touring, sea paddling, sailing and of course, mountaineering.

My wife Sue and I have stepped back from running Calluna Self Catering in Fort William. The accommodation business is now in the capable hands of our eldest daughter, Victoria. We can accommodate up to 17 people.
