James and the Giant Redwood - BBC Radio 4 Hope you enjoy!

James and the Giant Redwoods part one airs a week today. If you fancy tuning in, you can get all the details at : James & the Giant Redwoods & A Life in the Trees Hope you enjoy!

I hadn't seen the video - some great footage Whilst in Arcata, I met up with Steve Sillett and Bob Van Pelt (they live practically next door to each other), it was interesting hearing Steve's comments on Wild Trees. He had no editorial control over the book, nor did he receive any money for it. He was pretty scathing about the 300' club - felt it was in there purely for 'sales'!?! There were some pretty heated conversations about climbing techniques as well - SRT vs DRT which is always interesting! Bob was fascinating - it was great to chat about his [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Forest-Giants-Pacific-Coast-Robert/dp/tags-on-product/0295981407]book[/ame] , he's also got another one coming out on the Sierra Nevadas, but all he really want to talk about was ale & British pubs!!!

Thank you for the positive comments. We made a two part program for Radio 4, which should go out 14th & 21st Feb at 11am, repeated 16th & 24th at 9pm respectively. I will be updating my blog http://www.alifeinthetrees.co.uk about the climbing etc but the prog needs to air first.

Spent two incredible weeks in North California September 2011 - far beyond anything I could have imagined! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=355138864500310&set=a.355138801166983.100442.265467636800767&type=3&theater
