John Curtin wrote the first edition of this guide. John writes about gentle adventure, outdoor pursuits and gardening. Occasionally accompanied by his wife, his Spaniel and sometimes a very slow but endearing wheaten terrier, his travels are only limited by the responsibility of providing a year round supply of organic vegetables from his allotment garden at the foot of the North Downs Way in Albury, Surrey. Henry Stedman is a walker of considerable experience, having hiked in many parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, and he has been writing guidebooks for more than a quarter of a century.
