Craig (Snips)
Senior Tour Operator
Snips is our Senior Tour Guide and bloody nice bloke, liked by all, he is a great entertainer and unflappable in any situation. Snips rides in excess of 30,000 miles per year on his BMW R1200GSA and is a very likeable guy
A cool, calm and collective rider with advanced riding skills, Snips is very attentive towards clients and will go to great lengths to ensure they are comfortable and happy at all times, he also has some pretty excellent medical skills, which, have proved invaluable.
As an ex-soldier and protection officer working in some of the harshest conditions in the world, Snips has also been trained to use machine guns, amongst an array of other weapons, so in the face of adversity, he would be the best bet to have by your side! Snips is also pretty handy with a first aid kit and a motorbike and often provides clients with skills and advice that have made a huge impact on our customers riding enjoyment whilst on tour with us
On one of our recent tours of 2017, Snips jumped into action during the early hours of the morning to provide medical assistance to a client suffering from a heart attack. Despite the customer believing they had indigestion, Snips quickly identified there was something more serious going on, the client was rushed to hospital, followed by Snips on his bike. The client has made a full recovery no thanks to Snips’ skills and quick thinking, he literally saved his life!
