      About the Author

      Kev Reynolds is a prolific compiler of guidebooks whose first title for Cicerone Press (Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees) appeared in 1978 and is still in print. He has written and illustrated more than 50 books, including numerous guides to the Alps, a series on Himalayan trekking, various books on the Pyrenées, and guides to three major National Trails – the North Downs Way, South Downs Way and the Cotswold Way – as well as guides to day walks in Kent, Sussex and the South Downs National Park. A member of the Alpine Club, Austrian Alpine Club and Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, Kev lives below the greensand hills of Kent – the centre of his spiritual universe. His passion for the countryside began almost before he could walk and remains undiminished after a lifetime of activity, and he regularly travels throughout Britain to share that enthusiasm through his lectures.
