About the Author:
Born in 1942 in the 'auld grey town' of Kendal, David Birkett was educated locally and resurrected the family printing interests by becoming an apprentice compositor and machine minder with a local company.
His infatuation with mountains and landscape started when he was 13-years-old and joined a local rambling club and later the Kendal Mountain Rescue Team. He worked abroad in Switzerland and Austria as a mountain guide, returning to the Lake District as one of the first National Park rangers.
The author has wide interests, including singing, photography and rock climbing plus he is devoted to his wife Valerie and their three children. He retired in 1999 to offer more time in a voluntary capacity to Kendal Town Council and the Friends of the Lake District and to follow his interest in the hills and spend more time with his family.
