Short biog
Dowsing leys (spirit paths) and undertaking vision quests at sacred sites gives me an insight on our land as a Merlin. This is a lonely and arduous path, so I may be unique within this Guild. As the reincarnation of Derfel Gadarn, I am an authority on Camlan (King Arthur's last battle). I use and promote public transport. Author of over 50 walking guides, I have a degree in history and education from Oxford University. A full-time freelance writer, I also serve voluntarily with the Ramblers' Association, on the Vegan Society Council, the Council of British Druid Orders and as Secretary of the Society of Ley Hunters. I cover all of Wales and much of England.

Business interests

Professional activities
Monthly walks (Wales) in Country Walking, quarterly walks in One Wales, regular examples of leys in the newsletter of the Society of Ley Hunters, articles in The Vegan; I publish under the imprint Meirion Publications; lectures, TV and radio programmes plus guided walks.

I market my own and other people's relevant books to outlets not reached by reps.
