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.
