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 36) is the mother of two boys (Jamie and Sam) 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 two boys she enjoys the homely
life of gardening, cooking and slug collecting.
Zoe Sayer (age 37) 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. She then
moved to
Snowdonia to work as a geological consultant
after
which she decided playing with toy cars was more
fun.
She stayed in the area for 12 years before moving
to western Scotland. Her enthusiasm for
the outdoors was not diminished by having her two
children,
Rhodri and Rhiannon, in tow. When not out
walking,
she enjoys bassoon playing and badgering her long term partner Keith.
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.
