Life on the Edge - Tristan Voorspuy's Fatal Love of Africa (Paperback): Adrian Dangar Life on the Edge - Tristan Voorspuy's Fatal Love of Africa (Paperback)
Adrian Dangar; Foreword by Robin Hanbury-Tenison
R491 Discovery Miles 4 910 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Once described by the actress, Joanna Lumley, as "the man with no fear", Tristan Voorspuy spent his whole life living up to the legend. Early stints in Northern Ireland and Germany with the Blues and Royals regiment were but a precursor to a life defined by his love of Africa, a life cut tragically short in 2017 on his beloved game reserve, Sosian. From his epic motorbike ride from Cairo to Cape Town, to extraordinary wildlife encounters and many death-defying light aircraft near misses, Life on the Edge paints a picture of a man determined to live life to the full. It is also the story of compassion, conservation and, ultimately, tragedy. In the last two decades of his life, Voorspuy transformed the overgrazed and drought-blighted Sosian ranch in Northern Kenya into a celebrated game reserve, acclaimed tourist destination and successful cattle ranch. True to form, it was whilst defending this property that an unarmed Tristan, on horseback, was gunned down and killed, a murder that sent shockwaves around the world.

True to the Line - A Hunting Life (Paperback): Adrian Dangar True to the Line - A Hunting Life (Paperback)
Adrian Dangar; Illustrated by Daniel Crane
R485 Discovery Miles 4 850 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

True to the Line is Adrian Dangar's recollections of his life at the sharp end of hunting, during which he was Master and huntsman of three very different hunts in three unique regions of England - Dartmoor, Leicestershire and North Yorkshire. During this time the author came into close contact with many fascinating characters that live and work in these beautiful landscapes. True to the Line portrays these rural lives alongside hunting, hounds and foxes, together with the challenges, frustrations and rewards of organising modern hunting in an illuminating and anecdotal style. This book not only covers his account as the first amateur huntsman of the Quorn in 80 years, but also his time as a hunting correspondent, hound judge, conservationist and all round countryman.
