Richard is a writer and storyteller whose work explores wilderness, adventure, and the enduring relationship between people, animals, and the natural world. Through immersive journeys across remote landscapes, he combines narrative travel writing with reflections on nature, wildlife, and the quieter rhythms of life beyond modern distractions.
Drawn to wild places and slow forms of travel, his writing is rooted in a strong sense of place and shaped by a curiosity for the landscapes, histories, and connections that define them. He seeks to capture both the physical journey and the deeper stories that emerge along the way.
His work is driven by a belief that adventure is not measured by distance travelled, but by the attention paid to the world around us.
CLIMB
In partnership with Patagonia and George Fisher, Richard spent a year delving into the fascinating history of climbing in the Lake District.
Retracing the pioneering routes of the Abraham brothers and George Fisher, while seeking out fresh adventures of his own, he set out to reconnect with the spirit of exploration that defined their era.
The culmination of this journey is Climb — a stunning book filled with compelling stories, evocative photography, and beautifully detailed line-scape illustrations. A celebration of adventure, heritage, and the landscapes that continue to inspire climbers today, Climb invites readers to discover both the history and the enduring magic of the mountains.
