Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

George Tod is a semi-retired IT support engineer and has long held a passion for long-distance mountain walking, starting with the Pennine Way in 1991. He has completed the Cambrian Way four times, the first in 2000. In 2005, at the request of Tony Drake who brought the Cambrian Way to fruition, he set up the Cambrian Way website and has continually updated and revised both this and Tony Drake's original guidebook.

Richard Tyler is a retired solicitor who has enjoyed a lifetime of walking in the Welsh mountains. He has considerable experience of long-distance hill and mountain walking in the UK, Alps and Himalaya. Richard carried out a full walk and survey of the Cambrian Way, finishing in 2016. He is chair of the Cambrian Way Trust, footpath secretary for Ramblers Powys Area and, at the time of publication, chair of Powys Local Access Forum.

The Cambrian Way Trust is responsible for publishing the guide to the Cambrian Way and maintaining the website (www.cambrianway.org.uk), as well as overseeing the condition and maintenance of the route and publicising it. The Trust is funded from the major legacy left by Tony Drake, who originally conceived the route, to the Ramblers, and its work is carried out with the assistance of Ramblers groups and members and Cambrian Way officers.
