In fact he's pretty much tried his hand at everything, diving, paragliding, parachuting, wakeboarding.......

Anthony's love of adventure has led to him working as a professional guide for over 20 years on every continent and in some of the remotes regions on the planet. This has included working with Discovery Channel productions and being a technical advisor to the industry. He now runs a host of international training courses, guiding worldwide expeditions and specialising in providing professional training programs.

Consultant/Guide
Gerry Moffatt - Gerry Moffatt first arrived in Nepal on a British kayaking expedition in 1983 at the age of eighteen. Over the next twenty years he became the first man to descend all the major rivers in the Nepalese Himalayas. Currently he serves as the white water consultant to the Kingdom of Bhutan. National Geographic regard him as “the most experienced river guide in the Himalayas.” Throughout his career, Gerry has spent a considerable amount of time working in the field of adventure documentary production. He has summated Mt. Everest on two occasions for film productions. In June 2006 he climbed via Tibet's north face as the behind the scenes Television Presenter for the epic motion picture ”The Wildest Dream”, which retraces the life of George Mallory and the tragic 1924 Everest Expedition. More recently, in May 2009, as Head of Film Production for Eddie Bauer’s “Return to Everest Expedition”, he summated Mount Everest from the Nepalese south side. His experience in the world of adventure is derived from a lifetime of expeditioning, instructing and guiding skill based outdoor pursuits.

Anthony and Gerry have worked together regularly over the last 20 years including guiding expeditions and first descents of rivers. They both direct the annual ‘International River Guide Program’ run in the Himalayas each Autumn.
