My thanks to everyone who accompanied me on these rides; those I spent just a few miles with before we parted company and the chums of a quarter of a century who still meet every May for a week of hostel touring and fine dining: Nick Cloke, Simon Wheeler and latterly, my nephew, Ashley Broad. They appear in many of the photographs as do our family friends, Paul Rigby and his son James, who joined me on a few of the rides. Mention should also be made of all the helpful staff and volunteers at the many hostels I used during my rides. I also need to thank Jonathan Williams of Cicerone for his ready acceptance of my proposal and Stephanie, Lois, Caroline and the rest of the team, who once again made the production process such a pleasure – and lastly my partner Cindy for her diligent proof reading.
