Luke is a Wales-based adventure and culinary travel writer with a penchant for the UK outdoors, Scandinavia and South America, about which he writes for the BBC, Lonely Planet, Walk magazine, National Geographic, The * Sunday Times,*Adventure.com and many others. He is the author of two novels and has written or contributed to over 60 travel books and guidebooks. He's always at his happiest in the middle of nowhere and with a long and winding trail ahead.

TV presenter, photographer and conservationist Chris Packham is one of the nation's favourite naturalists. He is best known for the BAFTA-winning* The Really Wild Show and fronting BBC's Springwatch and Autumnwatch *. Packham is president of the Hawk Conservancy Trust, the Hampshire Ornithological Society and the Bat Conservation Trust and vice-president of the RSPB and the Butterfly Conservation. In 2011, he was awarded the British Trust for Ornithology's Dilys Breese Medal for his 'outstanding work in promoting science to new audiences', and in 2016 he won the Wildscreen Panda Award for Outstanding Achievement, for his contribution to wildlife filmmaking.

Packham's partner Charlotte Corney owns the Isle of Wight Zoo, and his step-daughter is studying zoology at Liverpool University. He lives in the New Forest.
