Gary Moore
Gary Moore first discovered a love for camping and hiking in Northern Ireland's Mourne mountains, near where he grew up. Since then his adventures have taken him further afield, culminating in a three month trip to New Zealand. He can regularly be found in Snowdonia and the Lakes in the UK, and this year fulfilled a long-held ambition to hike across the Isle of Skye, and to walk from Bristol, where he now lives, all the way back to his hometown in Northern Ireland, taking in the Mournes along the way.
