A lifelong passion for the countryside in general, and mountains in particular, drove Kev and #039;s desire to share his sense of wonder and delight in the natural world through his writing, guiding, photography and lecturing.

Kev enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Cicerone from the 1970s, producing 50 books, including guides to five major trekking regions of Nepal and to numerous routes in the European Alps and Pyrenees, as well as walking guides for Kent, Sussex and the Cotswolds. and #039;A Walk in the Clouds and #039; is a collection of autobiographical short stories recording 50 years of mountain travel and adventures. He was also the contributing editor of the collaborative guide and #039;Trekking in the Himalaya and #039; and Cicerone and #039;s celebratory anniversary compilation and #039;Fifty Years of Adventure and #039;. A frequent contributor to outdoor magazines, Kev also wrote and illustrated brochures for national tourist authorities and travel companies. When not away in the mountains, Kev lived with his wife in a small cottage among what he called and #039;the Kentish Alps and #039;, with unrestricted walking country on the doorstep. But he also travelled throughout Britain during the winter months to share his love of the places he wrote about through a series of lectures. Sadly, Kev passed away in 2021. He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him and by many more he inspired through his writing and talks.
