"On the second day of June, 1993, I fell down a mountain. It was a spectacularly unpleasant thing to do. As an experience it isn't something I'd recommend, but for the way it changed my approach to life I remain eternally grateful." Andrew TerrillAndrew's two books The Earth Beneath My Feet, and On Sacred Ground, document his 7,000 mile solo hike from the bottom of Italy to the top of Norway. Both books are available from all good booksellers and come highly recommended by Casual Camping Podcast.Ade and Tim had the enormous pleasure in talking to Andrew about the epic journeys he has been on, and how nature and camping within it are an essential aspect of his weekly life.Want to support the show?
