Author Description
Tom Hutton is an award winning writer and photographer with a true passion for exploration and a love of high places. Since quitting his 'proper' job in his late 30's, his work has appeared in all the major UK outdoor publications and he has also written and illustrated a number of guidebooks. He's never happier than when he's in the mountains, whether walking, climbing, skiing or even mountain biking and he has a self - confessed unhealthy obsession with maps. He originally hails from Bristol but now lives among the mountains of Mid Wales with his journalist partner, Steph Duits and Black Labrador, Du.
