Notă biografică
Peter Jackson is an experienced hill-walker based in Kendal in Cumbria on the edge of the Lake District and not far from the Yorkshire Dales and Pennines. He has walked extensively in both of these popular areas and also in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and France. In 1997 he walked from Lands End to John O'Groats the long way: 1300 miles via Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, the highest peaks in each of the three countries he passed through. He says he was just getting used to it by the time he finished, and claims that the experience gave him a good grounding in the essential arts of arranging accommodation at short notice and talking to himself. For almost 10 years Peter was joint owner of MyWalkingGuide.com a company that ran guided and self-guided walking holidays in the Lakes and Dales as well as in Ireland and France. It soon became clear to Peter that many walkers wanted to arrange their own self guided walking holidays but struggled just because they did not have access to the right information. And that was his main reason for setting up mywalkingguide.com.
Descriere
Jackson walked from Land's End to John o'Groats and decided to take in the three summits of Snowdon, Scafell Pike, and Ben Nevis while he was at it. He presents a personal account of his 1,300-mile journey from the tip of Cornwall to the far north of Scotland.
