Cape Adventure International, established in 2000 and run by Rebecca Ridgway. It offers a unique range of Holidays and Courses designed for adults and young people from across the world. Knowledge and respect for the wilderness environment of the northwest highlands of Scotland, coupled with professional experience in using the outdoors as a learning medium, has helped to develop these Holidays and Courses over a lifetime of living in this special remote place. Cape Adventure is the most northwestly outdoor activity provider on the UK mainland.

Rebecca Ridgway (born 1967) was destined to lead a life of adventure being the daughter of John and Marie Christine Ridgway. In 1992 she became the first woman to kayak round the legendary Cape Horn.

She worked with her parents at their internationally acclaimed adventure school for 10 years. During winter months her spirit of adventure led her to explore the Peruvian Andes, the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, travel and work in New Zealand, sail to Greenland, as well as, running the New York and London Marathons.

She spent 18 months sailing across the Atlantic, Pacific and icy Southern Ocean to Antarctica.

Rebecca has worked with youth development charity Raleigh International in London and as a volunteer Project Manager in Oman, after which she successfully circumnavigated the remote Musandam Peninsula in northern Oman by sea kayak.

She has written 2 books: Something Amazing, published '93 by Hodder & Stoughton, and Then We Sailed Away, published '96 by Little, Brown & Co. and been the subject of several television films. 'First Lady of Cape Horn' '93 Survival Anglia and 'Wilderness Walks' '98 Triple Echo.

Rebecca lives at Ardmore throughout the year with her two children Molly and Hughie. Developing Holidays and Courses that offer a true sense of adventure and fun while retaining personal and family touches.
