Dave Hamilton

Dave Hamilton has been walking, talking and writing since the late 1970's. Although his early efforts were one or two word affairs, by the time he had reached his 30's he'd put enough words together to publish an entire book.

He's now written 7 of them including an Amazon top ten hit Wild Ruins and the Self-Sufficientish Bible which saw him interviewed by John Humphries on the Today programme.

As a freelance journalist Dave has contributed to everything from underground fanzines and in-flight magazines to Garden's World and the Guardian. Currently he contributes to BBC Countryfile, Walk Magazine and Wildbounds.

Dave went to the same school as Alan Carr. He is dyslexic, has poor working memory and no sense of direction, he's also a glutton for punishment.

Dave lives with his two sons in Somerset.
