About the author
David’s earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak ‘instamatic’ camera and notebook. Many years on, little has changed (except perhaps the size of the boots). Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found. Since Arnside and Silverdale became home in 2019, he has travelled less and been exploring much more locally, astounded by the sheer variety on his doorstep.
