AUTHOR THANKSNeil WilsonMany thanks to all the helpful and enthusiastic staff at tourist information centres throughout the country, and to the many travellers I met on the road who chipped in with advice and rec-ommendations. Thanks also to Carol Downie, and to Steven Fallon and Keith Jeffrey, Steve Hall, Russell Leaper, Brendan Bolland, Jenny Neil, and Tom and Christine Duffin. Finally, many thanks to all my co-authors and to the ever-helpful and patient editors and cartogra-phers at Lonely Planet.

Oliver BerryThanks for help and assistance on this book go to Alice Sommerlad, Thom Hunt, Rupert Ellis, Dave Grimstead, Jim Burns, Lucy Granger, Si-mon Timms and Hetty at Koru Kayaking. Special thanks to Susie & Gracie Berry, to Belinda Dixon for co-authoring skills, to Neil Wilson for steering

the ship, and James Smart and all the folks at Lonely Planet for guidance and sage advice.

Fionn DavenportThanks to Andy Parkinson at Visit Manchester and Joe Keggin at Marketing Liverpool for their help; big thanks to Saralinda Turner at Lonely Planet for her patience and perseverance, and also to Neil for being the good steward and James for, well, everything else.

Marc Di DucaA huge ‘ta’ goes to all the staff at tourist offices across the Southeast (those that haven’t been axed that is) but especially to the helpful guys in Hastings, Canterbury and Rye. Also thanks to Therese at Canterbury Cathedral and my Kyiv parents-in-law Mykola and Vira for looking after sons Taras and Kirill while I was on the road. And last, but certainly not least, heartfelt gratitude must go to my wife Tanya, for all those long days we spend apart.

Belinda DixonHuge thanks go to: James Smart for having faith (and the gig!), Lonely Planet’s behind the scenes teams, and fellow authors for humour, wisdom and travellers’ tales. Everyone encoun-tered on southwest-wide travels for tips, facts and countless kindnesses. And JL for sharing the road trips (especially kayaking, fossil- hunting and afternoon tea drinking) and still making me smile.
