Bücher von Howard M. Beck

Howard Beck has been an explorer, speleologist and traveller for some forty years, having gained experience of wilderness areas in the Arctic, equatorial forests and the Saharan Atlas. He has led expeditions to Norway and to what at the time (1976) was the deepest cave system in the world, the Gouffre de la Pierre Saint Martin, in the French Pyrenees. His first book, 'Gaping Gill: 150 Years of Exploration', was released in 1984 (Hale). Howard is still very much active, and keeps fit in his beloved Yorkshire Dales by walking, and cycling as much as 100 miles in a day. He has recently returned from four months travelling through Chile, the 'Thin Country'. He has a twenty-four year old daughter, Tamlyn, and lives in Lancashire, where he describes himself as an exiled Yorkshireman.
