Real Survival Stories
Contains some strong language.

Available for over a year

Deep in New Zealand’s North Island, William Pike climbs a volcano. But amidst the stunning scenery - used as a location for the Lord of the Rings films - he soon finds himself stuck in the mountains… facing doom. Consumed and entombed by a volcanic flood, William is buried under rock, mud, ice and ash. He’ll have to draw on his deepest reserves of physical strength, and strength of mind, if he’s to survive… A Noiser production, written by Jane Deith. For more on this story read William’s book Every Day’s a Good Day.
