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 a very good writer whether he writes for a newspaper, a magazine or a book. His writing has the clarity and the ability to convey his stories to his readers in an almost visual way.

"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."
