Author Name
Ronald Turnbull (Author)
I'm an all-weather walker, writer and photographer based in Southern Scotland. My special interest is in multi-day backpack trips over rough country, and I have completed 21 different coast-to-coast journeys across various parts of the UK. I like to sleep out without tent on UK hilltops, and have achieved comfortable nights on more than 90 in Scotland, Cumbria, and elsewhere in the UK. I once completed the Ben Nevis race in 1hr 58 mins, and have climbed the Eiger but by its Mittellegi Ridge not its North Face. I write in several UK outdoor magazines; my continuing series on Classic Mountain Literature on the UKhillwalking website now extends to over 40 titles and 900 years of hillwalking and mountaineering. My weekly short essay on Substack about all matters mountainous is at About Mountains.In 1999, The Angry Corrie magazine wrote: "Turnbull is ultimately worth reading, not just because of the clever quirkiness of his thoughts and phrases but because his night yomps and his high bivvies and his off-beat, off-beaten-track jaunts show that he retains that most basic of outdoor-writer essentials: a simple love of being out there, somewhere, on the surface of the planet."My personal website is found by Googling my name. An online interview from Autumn 2012 is at UK Hillwalking – search "I Want That Job - Guidebook Author".Read more about this authorRead less about this author
