No Legs Mike from Manchester
We all know there are many Veterans that love Hiking, Bush Craft and Camping like us its in our blood, but many have came back from operations badly scared for life, some haven't came back at all.
"No legs Mike" from Manchester as hes known, says "When my son drops me off in a field for a night alone on the moors it just clears my mind, the peace camping brings me, well you cant buy that, I sit around my small fire or listing to the wind on the tent while taking my prosties off and I still thank God above for what I have, I thank the people and the VA for supporting me and my friends, life goes on"
