BBC Radio Berkshire's Sue Kinnear met Megan Hine - the survival consultant who keeps TV explorer Bear Grylls safe on his many expeditions. She shared one particular memory, when she was trapped by a group of lions in Africa. "I was working behind the scenes on a TV show...we were in the Namibian desert and we had already relocated after a bush fire. "We hadn't had much to eat and one night we gathered a huge pile of wood - the fire was burning and at one point in the night I woke up and there was a huge male lion prowling in the fire light. "Fire is an amazing mechanism for protection, and that kept us alive."
