Trekking in Ladakh

Charlie Loram has never found being indoors easy. After breaking in his boots on the fells and crags of Snowdonia, northern England and the Scottish Highlands his nomadic tendencies took him to the Himalaya. For five years he wandered the high trails as guidebook writer, wilderness guide and modern-day pilgrim. His experiences there continue to inspire his attempts at living with simplicity and sustainability at home on Dartmoor, England. He is the author of the West Highland Way, also from Trailblazer and now works as series editor for their expanding hiking series. Jim Manthorpe updated this third edition. A dedicated hiker with wide experience of trekking in both Europe and Asia, he taught English in Barcelona for three years before moving back to London where he works in Stanfords, the London travel bookshop. He is the author of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, also from Trailblazer.
