Richard Skrein can be found in the woods and on the coastlines of Europe and beyond, and is an experienced professional with an enduring passion for outdoor education. A native Londoner with a wandering spirit, he loves nothing more than to learn new (and ancient) ways of connecting with the natural world. He is the author of 50 Things to Do in the Wild.
