About Tristan Gooley
Tristan’s passion for the subject of natural navigation stems from his hands-on experience. He has led expeditions in five continents, climbed mountains in Europe, Africa and Asia, sailed small boats across oceans and piloted small aircraft to Africa and the Arctic.
He is the only living person to have both flown solo and sailed singlehanded across the Atlantic and is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation and the Royal Geographical Society.
Prior to setting up the school Tristan gained extensive experience in the travel industry and is currently the Vice Chairman of Trailfinders.
Tristan has appeared on TV and radio programmes including Countryfile, Excess Baggage and Open Country.
The courses he teaches are the result of years of study and pioneering journeys. He finds teaching as challenging and rewarding as any journey he has been on.
