About Me

I am Harry and I am the face behind The Right Track. I have been so lucky to have fell into doing what I love most and getting to call it work! Bikes, Climbing and the outdoors has been a metaphorical vehicle to travel the world and find exciting, powerful and positive work, which makes a difference.

I have been lucky enough to have worked at the top end of cycling and outdoor industries for nearly two decades, working from sporting national governing bodies, to leading expeditions in places like Nepal, Borneo, Tanzania and many more.

In my spare time you will find me practising what I preach, either on a scottish mountain, on the bike, running with the dog or climbing on the grit. Recently I have been loving taking my son out on the shotgun bike seat, on the balance bike, in a kayak and outdoor climbing
