Duncan Bottrill is a climber and freelance UX designer based in London. We met through Instagram where he asked me about a banana bread I posted on my one of my stories. I asked him to come on my show and we were on skype within 2 hours talking about food in true Big Feed Up style. Such a sound guy and legit climber. Get involved if this is your kind of thing.
