Author Biography:

David's earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak 'instamatic' camera and notebook. Many years on, little has changed (although the cameras have definitely improved). Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found. After many years of hiking and camping around the UK and various corners of the Alps and Norway, David started exploring further afield with trips in Australia, New Zealand, then the US, undertaking several sections of the Appalachian Trail, and in 2016 a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. Returning to the Alps, David spent 4 years researching and exploring the Grande Traversata Delle Alpi.
