Lecturer in English at the University of Bristol. Interest in medieval mountains, environments and the supernatural, Middle English and Early Modern literature. Mountain walker. He/him.
Spent a fantastic 3 days in the Black Mountains, taking groups on guided walks and discussing medieval attitudes to mountain landscapes.
Reading Middle English poetry on top of a mountain was a particular highlight (for me at least, but I think other people enjoyed it too)!
