James Forrest

Outdoor adventurer and regular TGO contributor James has just set off to walk of the 90-mile Dales High Way, a spectacular high-level Pennine wander from the outskirts of Bradford to Cumbria’s Eden Valley. Wet, windy days, sub-zero temperatures and dark wild camps beckon – but he’s looking forward to getting outside his comfort zone. In this issue, he walks us through the Arrochar Alps (p12) and has helped bring together this year’s coverage of the TGO Reader Awards (p62).
