Alex, James and I are going back to the Kalahari Desert in Botswana. On one level, these trips have a practical component - we are assessing and fostering tracking skills. But there is a symbolic level too - something happens deep in my psyche in the face of the wild.

In this final episode, I share some thoughts from what I have learnt, to help you on your path of discovery.
