Hugh’s first book was The White Rock: An Exploration of the Inca Heartland (Weidenfeld & Nicolson / Orion)
An expedition to a remote part of the Himalayas resulted in Nanda Devi: A Journey to the Last Sanctuary.
He returned to Peru for Cochineal Red which investigated the earliest beginnings of Andean civilisation.
There followed Tequila Oil, an account of ‘getting lost in Mexico’ when young, which was serialised by BBC Radio 4.
Then came The Green Road into the Trees: An Exploration of England (Preface / Random House)
which returned him to his home country and won The Wainwright Prize.
His most recent book is One Man and a Mule, which also travelled across England,
this time in the north of the country – and with a mule.
