Mer om författaren

Hetty Kingston is a keen outdoorswoman who thrives on adventure, endurance and being on her bike. Based in the Peak District, she finds just as much joy in local adventures as in scaling bigger mountains further afield. Whether it’s heading out on long rides or exploring new routes, Hetty loves challenging herself and testing her limits, but also (importantly) balancing that out with keeping things fun and making sure there’s a good cake stop. Recently, longer rides have been swapped for smaller outings towing a trailer after the arrival of her twins – a different kind of endurance test! When Hetty is not on her bike or looking at maps, she is passionate about improving the accessibility of the outdoors through her research and event organisation, Women in Adventure. She is also one of the founders of Peak Gravel Gang, a friendly bunch of gravel riders in the Peak and Sheffield. Her first book, Gravel Rides Peak District, fulfils a longstanding goal of writing a guide that shares her favourite routes with others. @hettykingston
