Biography
A Scottish 'squatter' for 45 years, I have written and photographically
illustrated 11 outdoor books and walking guides covering the Scottish
Borders, the Lammermuirs, Kielder Forest, Northumberland, the north
Pennines, North York Moors, Lochaber- Ben Nevis and Glen Coe, Fife and
Perthshire and Kissamos and Selinas in Western Crete.
An inquisitive
pedestrian, full time writer and photographer, I have walked in addition
to Britain, Catalonia, the GR10 and HRP in the French Pyrenees, Italy
and Sri Lanka, plus some 20 Greek islands and small areas on the Greek
mainland.
Five words 'Let's Go
For a Walk' started it all. Now I am never more content or challenged
than with my walking boots on, a camera in my hand, a sack on my back
and a great walk successfully completed to enthuse the reader . Five
words also personify what I look for to make a good walk great
'challenge, scenery, variation , history' and 'wildlife', qualities that
are frequently met in all the walks. To share them with the reader there
are photographs relating to the route enabling the walker to identify
their location/position with the accompanying route description, maps
and items of interest. I believe one good photograph is worth a hundred
words.
