Becky Jones is a documentary film maker specialising in science,
history and arts programmes at the BBC and Chanel 4. The skills of
fact finding, research and travelling across the globe have been
honed and brought closer to home with the series of guide books
Adventure Walks for Families books she has created with journalist
colleague Clare Lewis. The books inspire children and families to
get out and about, exploring the stories and games of an old
fashioned outdoors childhood through a good tramp in the
countryside. Born and bred as Londoners, and following the success
of Adventure Walks for Families, Becky and Clare have since
produced London Adventure Walks, The Adventurer's Notebook and The
Bumper Book of London. To find out more about Adventure Walks for
Families, have a look at the website

Clare Lewis is a journalist and former managing editor at Conde
Nast, IPC and National Magazines, including Tatler, Brides, Country
Living and Homes and Gardens specialising in articles on crafts,
design and interiors. Her skills as a commissioning editor and
writer have given her an eye for detail and putting words and
pictures together in a clear format. Together with television
producer Becky Jones, she created the Adventure Walks for Families
series of guide books, inspiring children and families to get out
and about, exploring the stories and games of an old fashioned
outdoors childhood through a good tramp in the countryside. The
success of the first book in the series, together with Clare's
knowledge of London (as a true cockney, she was born and bred
within the sound of Bow Bells) has led to the publication of London
Adventure Walks, The Adventurer's Notebook and The Bumper Book of
London. To find out more about Adventure Walks for Families, have a
