Martin is a qualified Mountain Leader and has spent the past ten years leading groups both with his own long distance walking group and at a Purbecks-based Duke of Edinburgh group. He is a fossil enthusiast and is eager to pass on his knowledge of how to find them and what they are. Martin knows from first-hand experience the wonder and excitement of discovering something that has lain hidden for millions of years and takes similar pleasure from being able to help first-time fossil hunters do the same. In 2018 Martin was rewarded for his hard work as a guide and won a Gold Award at the Dorset Tourism Awards for 'Guided Tour Of The Year'.
