Arthur Boyt's Swedish fame...

[Q]

Don't know if anyone read the bbc feature last year on Arthur Boyt's (SW orienteer) unusual eating habits...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/southwes ... kill.shtml

But I recently came across a similar Swedish feature, published a month ago in the "Aftonbladet".

http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/s ... 35,00.html

Translation of the first bit...

“I eat most of what I find along the roadside� says the human vulture – Arthur Boyt, 66.
The pensioned English chemist Arthur Boyt picked up his first run-over pheasant when he was 13.
“I took it home to mum who put it in the pot�, he says to the Aftonbladet.
And that’s the way it is.

And it even finishes with a mention of his orienteering...

Arthur tells how he has never been ill. He is in exceptional form.
“Last year I became English champion in orienteering. I paddled round the Isle of Wight a while ago and I do long runs in the mountains.�

The same article was published in the latest edition of Skogssport (the Swedish equivalent of CompssSport). I will be more careful what I read at the breakfast table in future.

Apparently he was on Richard & Judy recently.

what an advert for the sport.

Maybe Becks can use that with her teenagers.. "Run fast, eat carrion"

And he was featured in Mammal News - the magazine of the Mammal Society! (they did comment that he should have sent the bat for rabies teasting......)
