Franco is the managing director of Pesda Press which he founded and has steered to becoming one of the most respected specialist outdoor publishing houses with a fleet of sea kayak, canoe, climbing and canyoning guidebooks alongside specialist instructional manuals and the visionary Nature of Snowdonia; the ‘ML’s bible’. He worked for many years as a kayaking coach and a mountaineering instructor including stints as Head of Paddlesports at Plas y Brenin and at Plas Menai. He has paddled throughout the United Kingdom and in many parts of the world including Nepal, Scandinavia, the coast of Brittany in France, the European Alps, Peru and Western Canada. With his partner Kath he has spent the last five years living on a thirty-six foot yacht called ‘Caramor’, whilst running his business, and sailing around South America (via South Georgia) and across the Pacific to new Zealand. Covid 19 has forced a longer than expected break from this journey but he is making the most of being back in North Wales (climbing, cycling and kayaking) and plans to re-join Caramor and continue with the circumnavigation in 2022.
