Patrick Kinsella is a journalist, photographer and author who specializes in adventure pursuits and outdoor shenanigans. Based in Devon, he spends an awful lot of time hunting for interesting trails, wild tales, and tasty ales, so writing a book about pub walks has given him the perfect excuse to claim all of those pursuits are work-related. A regular contributor to magazines including CountryFile, Sidetracked, The Great Outdoors and Country Walking, he has authored books for Lonely Planet, Insight Guides, Bradt Guides and Pocket Mountains, exploring kayaking, canoeing, climbing, hiking and biking routes all over the world.
