About the author

Elan valley mid-Wales autumn 1999.

Well apart from being a Scammell and Land Rover enthusiast (or sad as my 'other half' puts it) I'm also a keen model maker. When I'm not getting quality 'shed time' in on one of these hobbies I'm also into hill walking (with the dog) and rock scrambling. Professionally? I'm a senior lecturer in design. I don't know whether I'm just 'sad' or a bit eccentric, whatever, it keeps me happy!
