I am the author of two walking books and a co-author of a mountain biking book, and although smitten with outdoor pursuits from an early age, (not because I was forced to walk up Scafell Pike aged 3 ½ ), due to pressures of being an Orthopaedic Surgeon I have not been able to communicate this love to you until recently. The first book is an eight day long distance walk, a theme walk if you like, and my wife’s idea: to walk from Settle to Carlisle and come back via the classic train journey.
