ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Since his antique Saunders Jetpacker went porous in 1996, Ronald Turnbull has stopped bothering with a tent. He has made eight bivvybag crossings of Scotland coast to coast, and slept without tent on 37 Scottish summits, 30 in the Lake District and 26 elsewhere in the UK. He writes regularly for TGO, Lakeland Walker, Trail and Cumbria magazines and has written several guides for Cicerone: Ben Nevis and Glen Coe, Walking in the Cairngorms, Walking Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Walking Highland Perthshire, Walking in the Southern Uplands, and Not the West Highland Way. Researching his recent Walking the Jurassic Coast involved a bivvybag trip along 110 miles of the Devon/Dorset coast path. He is seen here at Gaping Gill at the end of the Pennine Journey described in Chapter 10.
