John Rushworth's Excellent Adventures
About - John Rushworth
John is a Motorcyclist, Skipper and Engineer. I live on the beautiful Isle of Bute. I hold an RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore CoC (Certificate of Competence) for both power and sail, STCW commercially endorsed to 200gt along with an MEOL in Marine Engineering. These are to the standards laid down by the MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) along with those of the International Convention on STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping).Vessels I've worked on recently include:- Llandudno Bay, Penrhos Bay, Wylfa Head, Carmel Head, Colwyn Bay, Cemaes Bay and Porth Dinllaen.
In my twenties I was an RN Marine Engineering Artificer, my thirties an ROV pilot, forties an IT consultant, motorcycle journalist, tester and tour guide. When fifty dawned I became a health and fitness instructor, qualifying with YMCAfit to CYQ Level 2, Certificate in Fitness Instructing Gym - all for fun and to find out what all that training was doing to my body!
After that I dipped my toe in the water with my own boats whilst working for IBM. I lived aboard Set Fair (Seamaster 30) on the Clyde in 2007 and then Atlantic Dawn (NB 840 Classic) in 2008/09 whilst cruisng the west coast of Scotland , Crinian and Caledonian canals with friends and family. I ended up and had great fun at Whitehills Harbour, whilst I worked in Aberdeen. After that I moved along to Inverness Marina. In 2010 I delivered a Victoria 800 from Falmouth to the west coast of Scotland via Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
I retain a lifelong passion for motorcycles. I currently run a Suzuki DRZ400 Supermoto. A Mini Cooper recently provided buckets of fun, in a two wheel gap year.
I'm an avid and early adopter of toys and technology. I enjoy writing, with many technical and adventure holiday articles published. My hobbies include Masters Swimming and music.
Me - my namesake - the author - an ancestor and why Bradford’s Coat of Arms features the only Boars Head in Heraldry without a tongue. Yorkshiremen also have a sense of humour.
