The author Roy Bedford

Roy Bedford - Walker, Writer and Meteorologist

Roy was born in 1936, educated in York and Wakefield, and spent most of his working life in Electricity, producing management reports, advising in marketing and accountancy.

Inspired by the written word, he edited newsletters, researched and produced books within the industry, and helped to develop new technology. In his spare time, Roy enjoyed the extremes of mountain walking, and on his retirement in 1990, devoted himself to reproducing the atmosphere of the mountains in print, forming his own publishing company to distribute the books.

Roy is married – Margaret is his greatest supporter, tireless in her independent advice, and her constant supplies of tea and coffee. Without her help, none of this would have been possible!

His enduring passion has always been the subject of the weather in all its variations – “As a mountaineer, a basic knowledge of the weather has been my guide, my inspiration, and my saviour. And when it snows, I revert to my childhood. It captivates me, invigorates me, transports me back to the days when I used to make snowmen, and my hands and knees were so chapped, they glowed in the dark.”

Roy is devoted to writing, painting, computers and printers – although this can sometimes be such a frustrating hobby in the unforgiving world of publishing. Encouraged by helpful friends and associates, Roy survived the initial rejections and found the publishing teams of Yorkshire Art Circus and Pen2Print. With their expertise he has never looked back!
