Alex Roddie

(United Kingdom)
I’m an editor, writer, author and photographer who lives and breathes the outdoors. I specialise in adventure travel, the outdoor publishing industry, and non-fiction on mountaineering, hiking, nature and the environment. In my spare time I like to get soggy and cold on mountains.

I am editor of Sidetracked magazine, contributing editor and writer for The Great Outdoors (TGO) magazine, and I occasionally contribute to UKHillwalking and other UK titles. My books include Wanderlust Europe (Gestalten, 2020), Wanderlust Alps (Gestalten, 2021) and The Farthest Shore (Vertebrate Publishing, 2021).

Wandering without intent, meandering, walking with pleasurable aimlessness (English regional, esp. Lincolnshire; supposedly derived from the Norse word for “worm”). See also “stravaiging” (Scots), “daundering”, “pootling”, etc.
