Who's your natural world hero?

..or heroine? Who inspired and inspires you?

For me, it's Ray Mears, and a bloke called Dave who taught me Falconry when I was a lad.

Jack Hargreaves maybe too...anyone remember 'Country Boy' back in the 60s?

Tough one this. I was a Jack Hargreaves fan too, but in my earlier childhood days, Enid Blyton played a part as well.

For me it was the books of Gerald Durrell (My family & other animals etc.) and the films of David Attenborough Whenever I watch Life on Earth I am transported in my mind back to when I was an excited kid waiting eagerly for each episode to show and then hanging on his every word ... the word 'inspirational' just doesn't do it justice

Sir David Attenborough - No one else comes close IMO!

I was wondering how many posts it would take before he popped up

For me it's got to be Louis Sarno.

For me, it has to be the late Alfred Wainwright. All his guide books are a joy to read and works of art, the best thing he did was A Coast to Coast Walk. One I've done 6 times and on my 7th crossing in 2010 and I would never tire of it. I will be paying my respects to A.W. on Haystacks when I do the Coast to Coast next year.
