Apparently I went to school with Ray, though I have no recollection of it. He was probably bivouacking under the Friends Meeting House, and it certainly casts new light on the arson problem we had in the 6th Form.
Anyway, it's a long way from Reigate to what he does now. His programmes on the making of the birch bark canoe and on the Heroes of Telemark are two of my favourite documentaries, and last night he made snow shoes for crissakes. What more can a man want after his roast pork and Lindsay Duncan saving the world (I had plenty of choices this morning).
Of course the real reason for praising him is his approach to survival.
Eat, eat, eat, eat and move very slowly. I've seen Pottos in London Zoo with more hurry-sickness.
