Clive Hutchby climbed his very first Lakeland fell just two years after the publication of the last of legendary fellwalker and guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright's seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, and a full six years before the author relented to 'pressure' from his fans and produced his final guide to the mountains of the English Lake District, The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. After conquering Catbells, he has grown taller (and older, unfortunately), and in the intervening years since has edited newspapers in England and the United States and also worked in Ireland. In all three countries he has won journalism awards for writing and designing. Clive is the author of The Wainwright Companion, published in 2012, of which Cumberland News wrote 'No-one has analysed the Pictorial Guidebooks produced by Alfred Waiwright more closely than Clive Hutchby. He's counted the clouds in every book'. See less
