About the Author
Paddy Dillon is a prolific walker and guidebook writer, with nearly 60 books to his name and contributions to 25 other books. He has written extensively for several outdoor magazines and other publications and has appeared on radio and television.
Paddy has explored Menorca's coast and countryside, taking note of archaeological and historical sites, walking from village to village, checking all the helpful facilities for other walkers. Paddy uses a palmtop computer to write his route descriptions while walking. His descriptions are therefore precise, having been written at the very point at which the reader uses them.
Paddy is an indefatigable long-distance walker who has walked all of Britain's National Trails and several major European trails. He lives on the fringes of the English Lake District and has walked, and written about walking, in every county throughout the British Isles. He has led guided walking holidays and has walked throughout Europe, as well as in Nepal, Tibet, and the Rocky Mountains of Canada and the US. Paddy is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
