Ludgrove originally thought that he could complete his dream yacht in just three years. He soon realized, however, that both the timeline and budget were overly ambitious. To raise more funds, Ludgrove and his kind wife Elaine sold their London flat, their primary home in Exeter, Devon, and now live in a rented house.

SNH announced the programme — called The Long March. They will initially concentrate on“pinch points” where there is little space for wildlife.
