David is a solicitor. He worked in the magistrates' courts in West Sussex and became their legal manager. He now works part-time as a criminal lawyer. He has walked all the complete National Trails of Great Britain as well as the Coast to Coast Walk, the entire south coast of England, the highest points of all the English counties and the peaks of England, Wales and Scotland, and has written a number of guide books. He is also noted for his 'readathons', reading aloud books of the bible, sometimes from memory.
David will give an introductory talk about his walks and guidebooks, followed by a talk on other aspects of his life, with a break for light refreshments.
