Fed up with headlines on biodiversity loss, Roger Morgan-Grenville set out on a 1000 mile walk through a British Spring to see for himself if there is cause for hope for the natural world. His aim was to walk 20 miles a day, as oak leaves emerge – what unfolds on his journey is both life-affirming and life-changing.Roger spent nine years in the British army, during which he served in five continents and led the first expedition that successfully retraced Sir Ernest Shackleton’s escape across the South Georgia ice in 1917. After running a small family trading business, he became a full-time writer in 2017. In 2007, he was one of the founder members and first head fund raiser of the charity Help for Heroes, and from 2020 he has been chair of the conservation charity, Curlew Action.
His books include Liquid Gold (2020), Shearwater (2021), Across a Waking Land (2023) and The Return of the Grey Partridge (2024). The account of his journey around the edge of Britain, The Restless Coast, is published in June 2025.
