All About The Authors |
This website has been inspired by two like minded mums with a passion for the outdoors, far
too much time to fill and some bored kids to entertain. After writing numerous guide books
for pushchair walkers they’ve now tried to enable a wider audience to share their
experiences with this website.
Bec Terry (age 37) is the mother of two boys and a girl (Jamie, Sam and Emily) and
lives near Ilkley,
Yorkshire. Originally from a family of farmers near Worcester, she
gained interest in the
outdoors from diving, caving and walking. After a degree from
Plymouth University
and a PhD in Parasitology from Leeds University, she worked as
a biologist until the
kids arrived. She is married to Phil, which makes this a very
difficult sentence to
conclude. When she is not out in the wilds with the kids, she
enjoys the homely
life of gardening, cooking and slug collecting.
Zoe Sayer (age 38) was dragged up in the Yorkshire town of Pickering
with her two siblings and has enjoyed walking from an early
age. She studied
geology at Imperial College, London and
gained a PhD
in rock bashing from Durham. After 12
years in Snowdonia looking for oil and teaching
adolescents, she now lives on a remote Scottish island
with husband Keith and kids, Rhodri and Rhiannon.
Her enthusiasm for the outdoors has now extended to
crossing wild seas on the school run and racing
wheelbarrows. When not out and about, she enjoys
bassoon playing and avoiding housework.
The co-conspirators Phil and Keith are two beardy,
beery blokes who when they aren’t pushing prams
are down the pub, and when they are pushing
prams are wishing they were down the pub.
