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!

Hiking, trekking and camping since a young age, David Jordan’s earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak 'instamatic' camera and notebook. Many years on, little has changed, although the boots are bigger and camera technology has definitely improved. Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found.

David has hiked and camped extensively across much of the higher ground of the UK, Europe and Norway, as well as the US. A first taste of long-distance walking started with a circuit of the Tour du Mont Blanc in 1992 and led through sections of the Appalachian Trail to a full thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016. Returning to the Alps David spent four years researching and exploring the Grande Traversata Delle Alpe. In 2023 David hiked the PCT for a second time and became the 116th person ever to thru-hike the trail more than once.

When not travelling David lives on the Arnside and Silverdale peninsula, a designated ‘area of outstanding natural beauty’ on the edge of the English Lake District with his wife and dog.
