Kevin Walker
Kevin Walker lives in the Brecon Beacons area of mid Wales, and has been a professional mountain leader and hill guide for almost four decades. A self-confessed mountain addict, he ran ML training courses for several years, and has written many books including Mountain Hazards, Wild Country Camping, The Essential Hillwalkers’ Guide, and Undiscovered Wales.
He runs a wide range of navigation, hill skills and mountaincraft courses, as well as offering personal tuition, 1:1 coaching, and private guiding. When not teaching or guiding, he spends most of his free time exploring, photographing and writing about the less well known parts of Wales, with occasional trips to further flung hills, most recently the Spanish Sierras de Tejeda and the Nepal Himalayas.

Excellent book. Clear. Concise. Easy to understand and follow. Many books of this sort are too technical and hard to follow for the beginner. Kevin Walker’s book is first-class taking you through navigation techniques in an easy to follow way. Highly recommended.
