About Mike Townsend

Mike Townsend's love of the outdoors began with teenage walking holidays in the Lake District and Snowdonia. Later at Edinburgh University he began exploring the Highlands and in 1969 first glimpsed the Uists and Barra from Skye. After graduating in Geology he was a freelance mineralogist during the 70s which involved extensive travel and occasional mountaineering in South America and Australasia. Mike moved to Barra in 1980 to become a Geography teacher relocating to Benbecula in 1988. He has spent many periods since then even more since retiring in 2010 exploring the islands particularly their more remote unfrequented areas.
