Biografisk notat

Kev Reynolds was a freelance writer, photojournalist and lecturer. A prolific compiler of guidebooks, he produced many titles for Cicerone. A member of the Outdoor Writers and #039; Guild, the Alpine Club and Austrian Alpine Club, his passion for mountains and the countryside inspired a lifetime and #039;s activity, and he regularly travelled throughout Britain to share that enthusiasm through his lectures. Sadly, Kev passed away in 2021. Jonathan Williams has been Cicerone and #039;s Publisher since 1999. Now retiring (gradually) he and Lesley Williams have written and updated several guides in recent years, including the 2017 edition of this guide.
