Ray Mears delighted fans of all ages at The Lyceum this week with his ‘Born to Go Wild Tour’, writes Claire Faulkner.

The evening was everything you’d expect and more.

The stage was simple but beautifully dressed.

Using clips from his TV show on a backdrop, Ray focussed on the traditions and importance of fire in tribal communities around the world.

Taking us through the history of fire and demonstrating the different methods of making it.

The audience was completely spellbound as he showed us how to make fire using flint and steel, shaving clusters and a bow drill.

In the second part of the show, Ray talked about nature, the environment and bushcraft.

Sharing stories about the difficulties of filming in remote locations, and some of his favourite experiences of working alongside aboriginal tribes in Australia.

Throughout the night, Ray reminded the audience to respect the planet and to treat wildlife the way you want to be treated yourself.

I found the show engaging, informative and very entertaining.

I learnt a lot, from the Thunderbird to the uses of the birch tree.

But whether I’d be able to survive in the wilderness on my own is still up for debate!

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
