| INTERESTS
Max has a broad range of interests beyond leadership and talent development. He is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, and won the Guild's 2016 Award for Best Guidebook for his co-authored Trek to Everest. His book The Call of the Mountains describes the inspirational power of Scotland's mountainscapes; his Ridgeway is a guide to walking Europe's most ancient footpath, from Avebury to Ivinghoe Beacon; and one of his TGO articles describes a route across Switzerland's high passes. He is an active adventure traveller. With friends, he has climbed all 282 of Scotland's Munros (mountains over 3,000 feet in height); wild-camped 1,000 km across mountains in 2013 (including Switzerland's Alpine Pass Route, Corsica's GR20, and Scotland's Cape Wrath Trail); trekked in six continents; skied Sweden's Arctic Kungsleden; canoed the Thames; etc. He also works with the many parallels between adventure travel and business leadership including team selection and motivation, goal setting and re-setting, progress tracking, emergency action, and more.
