Bob FindlowOwner/Manager of Grough-Stuff Walks
Bob lives on top of a hill in the High Peak area of Derbyshire and enjoys an uninterupted view of his favourite mountain, Kinder Scout. Inspired by this beautiful scenery and having a real passion for introducing people to the countryside experience, Bob started Grough-Stuff Walks in 2006.
Bob has been a part-time Peak District National Park Ranger since 1991. Based at Hayfield in Derbyshire for much of that time, he has gained extensive knowledge of Kinder Scout and the surrounding high moors of The Dark Peak.
As well as being a Peak Park Ranger, he is Mountain Leader trained, qualified in first-aid and experienced in hill navigation.
Bob holds a BA Degree in Business Studies and his career in Quality Assurance, Health & Safety and Environment has spanned many industries including automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, nuclear and FMCG. Bob is a Chartered Quality Professional and qualified auditor of quality and environmental management systems and recently gained his NEBOSH qualification in Occupational Health & Safety.
In addition to Ranger duties and daytime work, Bob is also the co-founder, ex-chairman and walk leader for Transpeak Walks, a voluntary guided walks group operating in the Peak District. So you can be assured that he is not new to the guided walks game!
