Having published guidebooks to his local area, Arnside&Silverdale, and the Italian Grande Traversate delle Alpi, David returned to the US in 2023 to walk the PCT for the second time. That guidebook, in an innovative new format, is due out in 2025, with guides on the JMT and the Cairngorms to follow. David is a firm believer in contributing his own photography and developing prose that captures the imagination, not just a route description!
