Author Comment / Biography:
My main interests are in travel and enjoying the outdoors, in particular hiking and mountain biking being a regular visitor to the Lake District and North Wales, those being the nearest mountain areas to my home in Lancashire. I have written 3 travel books to date, the latest of which, "Tales from the Hills", is now available being a collection of stories from my travels in the mountain areas of Britain and Europe as well as a brief foray to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My previous work includes "31 Days in a Campervan" and "A Long Walk in the Alps". Another interest is outdoor photography and my efforts with the camera can be seen at the Mountain Landscapes gallery on my website. I have 2 sons aged 12 and 2, am married to Jacqui and live in Lancashire England.

15. 5 Places to Escape the Crowds in the Lake District
