Trekking the Giants' Trail: Through the Italian Pennine Alps: Atla Via 1 - Beneath Mont Blac, the Matterhorn and Monte Rose (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781852849924)

Andy Hodges was born and bred in Northern England and developed his early mountain skills with the local Scout group in the Lake District and Snowdonia. Since discovering the joys of the Alps with a Cicerone guidebook in 1999, Andy and his wife Sue have explored much of the Western Alps, walking, running, cycling, ski touring and snowshoeing. Since the late 1980s Andy has enjoyed leading others in the mountains and worked as a hillwalking leader before joining the teaching profession. With 25 years' service in Dartmoor Search and Rescue Andy has vast experience of the moors. He is Team Manager for his wife's school's Ten Tors teams and recently completed the in-depth training and assessments to become a qualified International Mountain Leader. When not in school, Andy is likely to be found in the Western Alps, on Dartmoor or in the mountains of Britain.
