Hide AdNow the adventuring presenter and best-selling author is on a new challenge; his first-ever major solo theatre tour across the UK recounting how he was drawn to, and became so enamoured by, a life in the wild.
His ‘audience with…’ style lecture show, Call of the Wild, is in association with Rohan and Garmin UK

“It will be really nice to actually go and meet people and hopefully leave them feeling inspired. That’s the idea. I am nervous about doing live shows to thousands of people at all those different venues but if you don’t have any nerves, something is wrong.”
Call of the Wild arrives at the Victoria Theatre, Halifax, on Thursday, October 15 and at the Leeds University Union on Friday, 16 October.
