My name is Martin Hughes-Games, I’m a rope access technician.
The first fossil that I ever had I think was an ammonite, and I found it in the garden, when I was digging in the back garden, and they were only little tiddly ones, and then somebody came round somehow and gave my dad an enormous block of limestone with a huge ammonite in it, and it sat by the back door all my childhood.
