Roger Deakin was author of the nature writing classics, Waterlog and Wildwood. But he was also a maverick ad-man, seller of stripped pine furniture, teacher, filmmaker, music promoter and eco-warrior. Today, he lives on as the patron saint of wild swimming. In this illustrated talk, Patrick will bring this great romantic alive, and tell stories about Roger and his generation – perhaps the luckiest and most distinctive that ever lived.
