Had it not been for Robin Mead, we would never have met up with Martin Wood, the quintessential Town Crier of Shrewsbury with whom we rambled through the town while being regaled with stories of the supernatural! It seems that there is no end to Robin's exquisite knowledge of sights to see and things to do, with accommodation to suit, virtually anywhere within the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. In recent years Robin's timely and sound advice on several occasions has added considerable value to our own travel itineraries under preparation in the antipodes, and these observations reflect my personal experiences.

"Robin is one of the most experienced travel writers working in the industry today and has a vast knowledge of the travel business as well as having visited just about everywhere. He also happens to be one of the few people who I wouldn't mind being stuck in an airport with for severals hours!"

"Robin has joined me on a number of my familiarisation trips for travel writers. He has his finger on the media pulse, finds the fresh angle and knows how to sell a story to the right media at the right time."
