An architect by trade, Russ Claridge likes to spend as much of his time as possible walking around the countryside. His main concerns when walking are comfort, views and history, so his recommendations take into account whether or not you will have to rough it, what you should read up on before walking to get the most out of your journey and how far away you are from a decent pub. An on and off member of the Ramblers Association, Russ may or may not be thinking about writing a comfortable guide to the best walks in Britain in addition to several of his already published practical location guides.
