David Butterworth was born in London and brought up in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north-east of England. He attended the University of Northumbria where he graduated with a (BA Hons) in Historical and English Literary Studies. Unsure of his vocation, he completed the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course and left the United Kingdom to teach English. Since 2001 he has been teaching in Japan and now in China where he has been resident for several years.
As well as in Britain, he has hiked in Japan and traveled widely in China and in parts of South-East Asia. He enjoys swimming, jogging, reading, music and watching dated movies.
He has been writing short stories, travel essays, journals and intends to write some novels - suspense and one based on his working class upbringing in Northern England. He's currently working on one, a suspense novel concerning Richard III
At the end of July 2013, David Butterworth made an impulsive decision to walk the second half of the 192-mile Coast to Coast Walk across Northern England from west to east, completing a second crossing.
During the seven-day adventure, he was surprised to discover how much ease and complacency towards the Walk which runs from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire, trends.
Casting his mind back to an earlier era, Mr Butterworth recalls that the remarkable scenery the Walk passes through: the Lakeland fells, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, would be enjoyed much better if hikers didn't rely on support services.
The book floods with detail about the freedom to enjoy some of the most stunning landscapes found anywhere in the British Isles. It richly describes the scenery and what it is like to walk this iconic route, particularly if you decide to carry your bed and belongings on your back. Furnished with detail about heritage sites along the Walk, contrasted with several unusual situations, much of one's walking experience is told in this book's pages. It is an immersed account of one man's unforgettable journeys and adventures walking this fascinating and timeless trail.
