Autorenporträt

In 1979, after returning from a spell in the early Dubai building boom, Loraine Wilson swapped life as an architectural assistant for trek leading, mainly in the mountains of Greece. A lifelong hillwalker and backpacker, she walked the Cretan mountains from 1983. In 1995 a course in Heritage Management alerted her in a more formal way to the necessity of encouraging 'inland tourism' in Crete and places like it. It was in the hope of making a useful contribution that her guidebook was written. Formerly London-based, in later years Loraine lived in Cumbria. Sadly, she passed away in 2020.
