Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Derek Brockway was born in Barry, south Wales and has been passionately interested in the weather ever since he was a young boy. A qualified meteorologist, he has been employed by the Met Office for over 20 years and became the main weather forecaster for BBC Wales in 1997. He now presents a number of radio and television programmes, including Derek’s Welsh Weather and Weatherman Walking, which had one of the highest viewing figures in Wales. His autobiography, Whatever the Weather , was published in 2007, and his leisure activities include walking, squash, skiing and learning Welsh.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Discover the fun of walking in Wales with twelve more of uber-weatherman Derek Brockway's favourite Welsh routes. Hot on the heels of best-selling Weatherman Walking , Derek is offering you another chance to walk in his footsteps and enjoy exactly the same exhilerating experience as portrayed on his popular BBC Wales TV show. He has compiled another volume of gems based on his radio and television travels and arranged them over twelve months for a full year's worth of fantastic walks. Written with series producer Julian Carey, More Weatherman Walks includes maps, directions and an insight into the social history, heritage, wildlife and topography of some of Wales's most attractive landscapes as well as including extra stories and secrets not revealed in the television series. If you want to explore Wales on foot or from your armchair, then Derek makes the ideal guide and companion. Join Derek Brockway for More Weatherman Walks Following the success of his radio and television series Wales’ most popular weatherman is back with More Weatherman Walks – a second book of his favourite tramps around Wales. Derek says, “After the first book, lots of people wrote to say that they bought it and pledged to do every walk in the book – and it would be great if lots of people did that again. I’ve done them all and thoroughly enjoyed them. Remember, if I can do it – so can you!” The twelve routes are suitable for the general walker, and each one has been chosen for a particular month of the year. As Derek explains: “The aim of the book is to get you walking through the year and to enjoy the different seasons.” He hopes the book will “inspire you at home to want to get out and about and explore our wonderful country.” This reasonably-priced book includes stunning colour photographs, maps and comprehensive directions to accompany each walk. They are all introduced by Derek and an experienced local guide, and feature background information on social history, heritage, wildlife and topography by the BBC’s Julian Carey. There are also details of walking festivals throughout Wales.
