When the Four Horsemen arrive, few survive the storm unscathed. Fewer still go on to build shelter from the storm for others.
In the first of rewiggle’s series on human resilience, Robin Hanbury-Tenison OBE, one of Britain's most celebrated and well-loved nonagenarians, explorers and conservationists, shares his remarkable journey of recovery from a COVID-induced coma to climbing Cornwall’s highest peak 5 months later to raise funding for healing gardens in hospitals.
Right from his 1950s expeditions to unknown, remote worlds, living with shamans and indigenous tribes to setting up Survival International and then the Thousand Year Trust with his son, Merlin, all his life, Robin has fought for Nature. And when he needed it most, Nature fought back for him.
BBC World made a documentary on him in 2020 after his covid comeback "Survival, To the Brink and Back", which reached over 400 million viewers across the world.
His life is a truly humbling and jaw-dropping example of what a genuine, deep-rooted connection to Nature can unlock, well beyond chronological confines - Limitlessness.
A story of personal storms, survival, relentless achievement and the extraordinary ways Nature helps us find our way back to ourselves.
