I didn't know him at all other than through communications through another forum.
One well known photographer had been out to his place a few times and everything seemed ok (but he is a much younger and thinner person than me) but I was the first to actually venture out there to meet him.
Others have been out there since and I haven't noticed anything untoward in their reports (mind you I never said anything in my reports).
The guy is an adventurer. He has walked from North Norway to Cape Town via the Middle East and has had marathon walks at other places around the world as well. He is a supreme birder with a vast amount of knowledge and at times it was a pleasure to be in his company but there were times when he went into focus mode and then I didn't exist so all responsibility for my safety went out of the window.
The guy was less than half my age and didn't take into consideration my limitations and that caused a few problems in the two weeks I was over there.
