After being introduced to the high peaks of the English Lake District at the age of eleven, M. D. Entwistle has been a regular amongst its mountains and lakes ever since. There he developed his love affair with outdoor adventure and he now spends his spare time seeking expeditions with a difference. He is a regular wild camper, mountain biker, skier, canoeist, and ghyll scrambler and has taken his passion far and wide, from the thermal springs of Iceland to the dense man fern glades of south-west Tasmania. In addition to writing Entwistle has appeared on radio and TV talking about his specialist subject Millican Dalton - being featured more recently on BBC’s Countryfile and The Lakes with Paul Rose. On the subject of Millican Dalton, Entwistle's biography hit a chord with many like-minded individuals who related to Dalton's ideals and upon reading his book - one couple created a luggage brand, musicians waxed lyrically, and an actor produced a one-man play. If you were to ask Entwistle what his biggest claim to fame was, he would say his 2006 book launch of Scratch & Co: The Great Cat Expedition (Molly Lefebure and Alfred Wainwright) on the summit of Scafell Pike which took the credential of England’s Highest Book Launch - an event, complete with a cheese board and wine selection, which left inadvertent attendees speechless. He is currently creating a series of travel guides and finalising the biography of another Lake District legend, all of which will be released in due course.
