David Else is a professional travel writer, specialising in guidebooks and articles for walkers and independent travellers - focussing on two contrasting areas: Great Britain, especially Northern England; and Africa, especially the East & Southern regions.
David has written around 30 tourist guidebooks, including several editions of the best-selling Lonely Planet guides to England and Great Britain, and numerous guides to various countries in Africa. David's other travels have included trekking in the Himalaya, whale-watching in the Sea of Cortez (Mexico) and dodging icebergs in the Arctic.
When not at his desk, David is an active hill walker, rock climber, touring cyclist and mountain biker. Specialist guidebooks based on this passion and experience include three editions of Lonely Planet's guide Walking in Britain.
David contributes articles to national newspapers and magazines such as Beautiful Britain and Club UK, covering a wide range of aspects, from city sights and hotels to national parks and outdoor activities. He has also provided content to commercial publications produced by VisitBritain, EnjoyEngland and local tourism bodies. David also broadcasts regularly on several local BBC radio stations covering general travel topics, ranging from insurance to exchange rates, and from round-the-world-trips for over-60s to UK beach holidays with children.
