RIP Brummie Stokes....

[redbranchwarrior]

Genuinely saddened by this. Just heard that Brummie Stokes passed away today as well. If you haven't read soldiers and Sherpas I highly recommend it. It's far from the typical sas biography, more about his climbing etc. And I used to love his show "a walk in the woods".

RIP Brummie!!

Oh! That is sad news. I enjoyed his show too.
Here is a little interview by of all people, Mazda.

Yes, sad indeed.

Read his book last year and can also recommend.

Didn't know he'd done TV though

He was quite a character! RIP

sad loss, the guy was born and brought up in the same place that I was in the Black Country, as a kid he used to climb a very tall bridge across a local canal known as High Bridges and he used to walk to Dudley to climb on the local limestone outcrops at a place called Wrens Nest, back then it was just a piece of roughland where kids played but it is now a nature reserve made world famous because of it's caves and fossils. I guess an adventurous life beckoned from an early age.

Look! History4free has just posted his Survival series.

Missing him dearly, still. RIP xxx
