John Rushworth's Excellent Adventures
About - John Rushworth
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!
In 2009 I completed my
RYA day skipper qualification and ICC (Interntaional Certificate of Comptence) with CEVNI endorseement, after dipping my toe
in the water with
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.
Currently I'm skippering a
Victoria 800 and intend to depart
Falmouth in the Spring of 2010, delivering her to the west coast of Scotland. After that it's looking like a trip to Spain. At least it should be warmer!
I retain a lifelong passion for
motorcycles. 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.

Bradford’s Coat of Arms features the only Boars Head in Heraldry
without a tongue. Yorkshiremen also have a sense of
humour.
