The first edition was walked, researched and written by HENRY STEDMAN (far left) and JOEL NEWTON (left) accompanied by Henry’s dog, DAISY. They also researched and wrote the two other books in this SWCP series, plus numerous other Trailblazer guides. This second edition of Dorset & South Devon Coast Path was rewalked and updated by DANIEL MCCROHAN. Daniel is a hardened hiker and widely-pub- lished travel writer who has now worked on eight Trailblazer guides, and authored more than 30 Lonely Planet books to destinations as far flung as Tibet and Mongolia. He specialises in China, where he lived for more than a decade, but he is from the UK and relishes any opportunity he gets to explore the British countryside. Daniel hiked and camped his way along the whole coast path for this latest trip, accom- panied for much of the Jurassic s Coast section by his fossil-loving r seven-year-old daughter Yoyo, who has now walked all, or part of, no o fewer than five national trails. h Catch up with their adventures t at : danielmccrohan.com, or track u down Daniel
