Once a year the rangers of one forestry camp leave their trees and get together. This year On
Your Farm was there too, to find out about the remarkable lives of the men who live in the forests.

1: Don't Worry - It's Only Me with Narrator John Rowe with David Sinclair
Mary Kingsley found herself in 1892 with nothing to do.
She was 30, unmarried, and, apart from a week in Paris and a short trip to the Canary Islands, untravelled. She decided to explore West Africa. Her resulting adventures are among the most extraordinary ever recounted. She never expected to survive them. She fought off crocodiles, trekked miles through the jungle, was entertained by cannibals, and eventually returned to England to tell her story.
