When Ben Fogle visited Montserrat, here's what he said about Scriber
When British TV adventurer Ben Fogle visited Montserrat, he spent the day on the trails with James “Scriber” Daley, MBE. For anyone outside the UK, Ben is one of Britain’s best-loved travel presenters. He’s known for shows like New Lives in the Wild and Animal Park, and for real-world adventures that include rowing across the Atlantic Ocean and reaching the summit of Mount Everest. He has travelled to some of the most remote and beautiful places on earth, and now Montserrat is one of them.
At the end of his day with Scriber, Ben picked up his phone and recorded a short selfie video for his own friends and family, recommending Scriber to anyone planning a trip to the Caribbean. We’re sharing it here because there’s no higher endorsement than one from a man who has seen the rest of the world and still finds time to call out one local guide on a small Caribbean island.
If Ben Fogle is the one telling his circle to come to Montserrat and walk with Scriber, that really does say everything.
