ROBIN BRAY was born in Worsley, near Manchester, and went to Canon Slade Grammar School in Bolton. He studied medicine at University College London and after working in Oxford and Edinburgh became a consultant anaesthetist in Newcastle upon Tyne, where he still lives. He retired in 2007 and in 2009 published his first book, Walking on Bridges, also published by Hayloft, which won its category in the 2010 Lakeland Book of the Year. This was partly a book of walks along the packhorse routes of the English Lake District and partly a description of the many small stone bridges that enrich them. It also included information about the engineering of bridges.
