Schweitzer Klassifikation
Ed Hunton grew up in North Devon on the edge of Dartmoor and cycling was his main mode of transport. The unparalleled feeling of freedom his first bike afforded him on his adventures throughout South-West inspired a lifelong passion for cycling. Tours in Italy, Spain, Benelux, France and Cuba followed, with a mixture of campsites, wild camping and pensions being his preferred accommodation. A keen member of Audax, Ed has also completed the Trans Alba (an 800-mile circuit of Scotland), taken part in Bear Bones events, completed a DIY tour of the Badlands in southern Spain and ridden countless sportives. His previous guidebooks for Cicerone focus on bikepacking in the Lake District and in the South East of England.
