Alan Berkeley Thomas

Dr Alan Berkeley Thomas is the author of twenty books and dozens of articles for scholarly journals and popular magazines and is a prize-winning poet. He is a graduate of the University of Liverpool and of the Open University of Great Britain where he studied the social and behavioural sciences. A life-long fellwalker, he completed the ascent of all 214 Wainwrights (Lake District fells over 1000') in July 2017, walking over 800 miles and climbing 251,200' in the process. As a Member and Honorary Member of the Wainwright Society, he has contributed numerous articles on fellwalking and fellwalkers to the Society's magazine, Footsteps. When he isn't writing he is probably either walking, stargazing, or trying to improve his guitar playing. He lives with his wife in Cheshire.
