As part of Oxfam’s Bookfest Cicerone author Mark Richards will be in the Keswick store on the evening of 13th July giving a talk about his walking life and the Lakeland Fells in particular.
Mark’s transition from full-time farmer to full-time outdoor writer has been a gradual one. In 1973, with the direct encouragement of Alfred Wainwright, he wrote his first walking guide to the Cotswold Way. Since then he has indulged a pleasure in exploring rural Lakeland by creating an eight volume Lakeland Fellranger series which covers every fell in the National Park.
Mark’s recent work includes leaflets to the Stagecoach bus services in Lakeland under the title From A to B to SEE. He has also appeared on TV with Julia Bradbury in Wainwright Walks and Coast to Coast.
