  • The Distance Hiker Podcast Episode 1: A Walk Around The UK With Chris and His Dog, Moose
    Jun 21 2021

    Episode 1: I had the pleasure of interviewing Chris, and Moose for Episode 1 of the Distance Hiker Podcast. Chris took a chance on circumstance and decided to take on a coastal walk around the United Kingdom, starting back in June 2018. In this Podcast, we unpack what it takes to do such an involved walk, not just for himself, but with a large, and very lovely labrador mastiff, named Moose. I hope you enjoy the show with Chris and Moose.

  • The Distance Hiker Podcast Episode 2: Meet Eoin Hamilton, from Hiiker
    Jun 29 2021

    Episode 2: It was a delight to have Eoin Hamilton, who heads up marketing for the excellent Hiiker app on the show. It was Eoin's wonderful hosting of the Hiiker Podcast that very much inspired the Distance Hiker Podcast (Thanks Eoin!) so to have him on my show, felt really special.

    The show touches on the history and growth of the Hiiker App and where it's going next, solo and female adventure and Eoin's background amongst other topics. It's safe to say we had a great chat about a number of things related to Hiiker and long distance hiking, and I think you will really enjoy this episode and learn a thing or two about the work which goes on behind the scenes at Hiiker.

    I hope you enjoy the show with Eoin Hamilton, from Hiiker.

  • The Distance Hiker Podcast Episode 3: Walking 300 Miles And Making 300 Smiles With Katy Ellis
    Jul 7 2021

    Episode 3 features our latest guest Katy Ellis, who has not long returned from a 300 mile walk along the Essex and Norfolk coastlines. 

    Katy, 20 who is a student at Exeter University, studying Ecology, walked to raise awareness of conservation and ecological issues, and solutions with young people.

    Not only did she walk 300 miles, she also spoke to 300 (and probably more) school children along the route in organised school visits to inspire young people to take an interest in ecology, history and adventure.

    It was a delight to speak with Katy, who was full of great stories from her trip, and some wonderful insights into female adventure, and of course ecology. 

    Thanks for joining me on episode 3 Katy. I look forward to sharing the episode tomorrow evening (Now available on iTunes!)
