THE AUTHOR

Being a keen runner and walker, I was delighted to fulfil a longstanding ambition in 2010 by having a book published of some of my favourite off-road routes in the 1066 area. Walks in 1066 Country has been very well received both locally and further afield, and it has been very encouraging to receive all your kind comments on the website www.spanglefish.com/1066routes
