Podcast appearances and mentions of Ben Nevis

On the banks of the St Lawrence River in Quebec stands a 100-year-old lighthouse. While initially built to help boats navigate one of Canada's most difficult waterways, the Point-de-Père site now also holds a different responsibility: it is a key reference for measuring sea levels around the entire North America continent. But this is all set to change. With the development of new satellite technology, the tricky task of measuring sea levels is being updated - which could mean mountains around North America get brand new official heights. In this episode we revisit a question from CrowdScience listener Beth, who wondered about the elevation signs she saw scattered along a mountainous road, indicating how high above sea level she was. As sea levels rise, will all the elevation signs need repainting? And how do you measure sea level, anyway? The height of an enormous pile of rock like Ben Nevis, or Mount Everest feels unchangeable. But we measure them relative to the nearest patch of sea, which is where our story becomes complicated. Unlike water in a bath, sea level is not equal around the world. In fact, nothing on earth - not the sea, the shore or the mountains - is stable or constant, so the question of what you measure from and to becomes incredibly tricky. But that hasn't stopped scientists risking life and fingers to use an ever-evolving array of technologies to find answers. Join host Marnie Chesterton as she dives into the mechanics of the latest sea level technology, and how it could make a big difference to understanding our unpredictable world.

We said we'd take you on a global adventure in Season 12, and we're sticking to that promise! Our Des-tination this week is mainland Europe, and we're off on quite the adventure with this week's guest and long-time pal of the show Des Tinney. Des took on a huge personal quest recently by completing the Camino De Santiago in Northern Spain. 496 miles that is. He did so for a very special cause, and he's here to tell us all. We first find out what lit his fire to take on the epic route, his why. Before we are whisked off to Espana for a quite terrific debrief of Des's epic pilgrimage. We're glad to report that although the running content is plentiful we get time to focus on other matters close to our heart, like fountains that run with wine for instance. Raising money as part of his endeavour helped drive him along the multi-day and Des lets us know about his charity, The Celtic Foundation, and how inspiration drawn from their cause as well as the folks who donated helped keep him motivated to keep on trucking. Even when the going got tough! Tales of hostels with bunk beds as high as Ben Nevis, 3 course meals for 12 euros and making plenty of new pals top off this absolute belter of an episode.

Efter bottle kill på Jeroens högt skattade Ben Nevis 10 går Mathias ut hårt med en Box Quercus II Alba medan David kontrar med sjuårigt fatsample OCH singelmalt på plastflaska. Efter ett pappaskämtigt instick från australiensiska Phineas Frog kommer vi till grävlingens kärna: Smakar Mackmyra roadkill och är Lennart Hero en äkta affärldsvärldshjälte? Mathias och Jeroen himlar med ögonen inför Davids ultra-deluxe-galore-provning med en whisky från 30-talet. Nej, inte 1930-talet, utan hundra år äldre. Vi ser fram emot rapporten! Vad var det i glaset? David smuttade på ett sjuårigt fatsample orökig bourbonlagrad Arran – gott, lovande, inte redo – och Mack av Mackmyra. Mathias hade en Box Quercus II Alba minsann. Och Jeroen gjorde BK (bottle kill) på Ben Nevis 10. https://theoldbarrelhouse.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Dobsons-Phineas-Frog.jpg Phineas Frog från Dobsons distillery – bra eller anus?

Om inte det är kungligt nog så bjuder vi på Royal Brackla 1924 utvald för den japanska kejsarens 60-årsjubileum, följt av en episk 30-talsflight med Macallan, Mortlach, Strathisla och andra osannolika Speysidebuteljeringar. Rariteter från Springbank, Talisker och Highland Park dyker upp titt som tätt innan det är dags för en Islay-flight från 60-talet och ännu äldre sorter med bland annat Ardbeg, Port Ellen och Lagavulin. När namedroppingen blir för påtaglig kör vi en flight med bortglömda spökdestillerier som Dunglass, Ben Wywis, Kinclaith med mera. Eller varför inte prova Sveriges första single malt Skeppets Whisky mot High Coasts (eller rättare sagt Box) allra första destillation. Och Japan då? Självklart kommer vi dricka gamla japaner och mycket, mycket mer. Men i vanlig ordning håller vi lite på det exakta innehållet.” Vi lovar att återkomma om denna provning…!

Era poddare kanske är lite rostiga. Hur rostiga? Well en av oss kapitalglömmer vilken whisky han har i glaset. Gomiddag. Kul: Skrewball har börjat säljas på Systemet. Segt: det finns en ännu godare jordnöts- & whiskydryck, fast inte på bolaget … gah! Missa inte vårt nya rekordförsök i nörderi genom en genomgång av kornets beståndsdelar ner på cellnivå. En smula mindre nördigt är veckans destilleri: Mannochmore. Sätta dit-fråga är om du kan skilja det från systerdestilleriet Glenlossie? Vad var det i glaset? Mathias trodde att han hade en 21-årig Benrinnes som han hade fått av David men det var det ju inte alls, utan en 22-årig Ben Nevis på 51,2% som han hade fått av Jeroen, inte David: https://www.clydesdale.se/index.php?page=products_showitem&id=7594 David hade en trettioårig Bunnahabhain 1989 från Gordon & MacPhail: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/140282 Jeroen njöt av GlenGarioch 12 YO: https://www.systembolaget.se/produkt/sprit/glen-garioch-8640501/ Skrewball finns på Bolaget!

Artikeln David läst: Briggs, Dennis E., ”Malt modification: a century of evolving views”, Journal of the Institute of Brewing 108, nr. 4 (2002), s. 395–405. Missa inte hans enorma bok Barley (London: Chapman & Hall, 1978). Hans bottenlöst nördiga bok Malts and malting (London: Blackie Academic & Professional, 1998), som illustrationen David la upp kommer från från början finns att låna timvis på archive.org: https://archive.org/details/maltsmalting0000brig Davids artikel om mältning skrev han tydligen redan 2020: http://tjederswhisky.se/ur-bokmanus-maltning/ Veckans destilleri: Mannochmore!

The Blue Ridge Parkway is 469 miles of beautiful vistas, a mountainous road that winds from Virginia to North Carolina in the USA. The route is peppered with elevation signs, telling you how many metres above sea level you are. Which has CrowdScience listener Beth wondering: as we are told that sea level is rising, will all the elevation signs need repainting? It's a task she's passed over to the CrowdScience team, who like a difficult challenge. The height of an enormous pile of rock like Ben Nevis, or Mount Everest feels unchangeable. But we measure them relative to the nearest patch of sea, which is where our story becomes complicated. Unlike water in a bath, sea level is not equal around the world. The east coast of America has a different sea level to its west coast. And as host Marnie Chesterton discovers in Finland, in some parts of the world the land is being pushed up, so sea level is actually falling. In fact, when nothing on earth - not the sea, the shore or the mountains - seems to be stable or constant, the question of what you measure from and to becomes incredibly tricky. But that hasn't stopped oceanography and geography scientists risking life and fingers to use an ever-evolving array of technologies to find answers. In this show we find out why they care so much, and why we should too.Featuring: Dr Paul Bell – National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool, UK Dr Severine Fournier – NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology Dr Jani Särkkä – Finnish Meteorological Institute Khimlal Gautam – Mountaineer and Chief Survey Officer, Government of Nepal Dr Derek van Westrum – National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USAPresented and produced by Marnie Chesterton Editor – Cathy Edwards Production Co-ordinator – Liz Tuohy Studio Manager – Steve Greenwood (Photo: Sea Level Elevation Sign in Death Valley, California.

Trying to use social media without a strategy in place is like walking up Ben Nevis in flip-flops. It's not impossible to make progress, but why would you want to make life difficult for yourself? And where do you start in creating a strategy that works? Especially when the pace of change in social media is quicker than a lizard on hot sand.

In this episode we chat to our lovely community member Graham, who is just down the road from Ben in Liverpool. Graham has been an OTI Community member for a year now - in fact he was actually with us in person on his one year AF anniversary during our Ben Nevis expedition! He shares with us how much he's loving riding the wave of sobriety and how removing alcohol was the key to solving the puzzle of his mental health challenges. Graham started his OTI Community journey by dipping his toes in to see what he thought; since then it's fair to say he's full on plunged in and he's not looking back! We think he's absolutely great and if you listen into this episode, we think you will too.  If you'd like to meet likeminded people like Graham, info on joining our online community can be found below. --- Get In Touch: Of course, you can always get in touch with us (publicly or privately) on our socials - @alcoholfreepod on Instagram, or search for "Over The Influence" on Facebook.

Join us as we dive into the captivating story of Rachael Crewesmith, an extraordinary mountaineer, rock climber, hill walker, and mountain bike guide. Discover how Rachael fearlessly defies boundaries in a male-dominated industry, taking on epic challenges and inspiring others along the way. Rachael in her own words:  “I'm a mountaineer, rock climber, hill walker, mountain biker and occasional paddler. I divide my time between the sprawling Scottish Highlands and the compact but wild mountains of Snowdonia where I work as a mountaineering instructor and mountain bike guide. I have ridden my bike across Nepal, round and round the Strathpuffer 24 hr endurance course and down the twisty, rooty trails of the forests of the Highlands. I have climbed up 100 Munroes (and counting), El Capitan in Yosemite, to 6000m in the Himalaya and up the north face of Ben Nevis. My favourite day out ever was climbing The Original Route on The Old Man of Hoy, on Orkney.  I've also spent time just travelling for travelling sake, especially in Asia. I visited Burma (Myanmar) at the same time as President Obama and witnessed the carnival of the first US state visit ever. I have walked across the living root bridges of Cherrapungee in north-eastern India and ridden the Darjeeling steam train. I have had dinner with the Nepali Army in Bhojpur and breakfast with the monks of north-eastern Thailand. I love coming home to the UK and realising just how amazing our diverse country is. From laverbread in South Wales to fresh mussels cooked in a jetboil on a Hebridean island, I love our country and all it has to offer.”   Get ready for an exciting month of July on the Tough Girl Podcast, as we shine a spotlight on women working in the outdoors.

This week ultra runner and environmentalist, Rebecca Leek, will be taking part in a climate relay to raise awareness of climate change. On Wednesday, June 29, Rebecca is coming to Northampton - the home of the Running Tales Podcast! - to run a leg of the Running Out of Time relay. The event is the biggest sporting celebration of climate action and nature ever attempted across Britain. Taking place between June 10 and July 11, the relay will travel 2,661km (1,653 miles) from Ben Nevis to Big Ben. Rebecca has also made a number of environmental pledges, including using existing clothing and trainers during the event, travelling in a low carbon manner and taking positive action in the community. It is the latest stage of a running career which only started two years ago - with a "shuffle" after listening to Chris Evans talking running on the radio. Running Tales also talked to Rebecca about how she felt discouraged to run at school and how she recently won a 71-mile ultra...   ----------------------------------  

For some, getting out and about means a leisurely stroll in the sunshine. For others, it's taking on the challenge of hostile and dangerous environments. Our guests this week tell us about losing their sight and the part exploring the great outdoors has played in dealing with it. You might associate entrepreneur and TV adventurer Amar Latif (who was awarded an OBE since we talked to him!) with challenges such as yomping in the Australian outback. However, his love of gentler pursuits is illustrated by his recent appointment as President of the Ramblers Association. Amar tells us about his plans for this role. Wayne Pugh was left devastated when he suddenly lost his sight thirteen years ago. Now however he has re-discovered his zest for life and is literally reaching new heights. Not content with climbing Ben Nevis, he became the first blind person to complete the Elie chainwalk. Wayne tells us about his journey from heartbreak to happiness.. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Fern Lulham Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three individual white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch"; and the Radio 4 logo (the word Radio in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one of a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.

Nicky Button was born in Gloucester and grew up in Worcester. Having a very happy childhood. Nicky was always last to be picked for any teams at school and was the most uncoordinated and non sporty child being told to go and swim after a term of tennis when she still hadn't hit a ball. Her teens and twenties removed around horses and children , whilst she ran a yard starting and schooling young horses and teaching people to ride alongside being a foster mother.  In 2000 with an eight year old daughter she moved to Surrey where she spotted a group of people kayaking on a local canal, she went along to the club and heard only two parts of the sentence, Wednesday nights are adults only, whitewater training and we go to the pub afterwards. Six months later she was staring at her first White water river in Wales. Several swims later and at the end of the river she was hooked.  The kayaking totally changed her life and she soon realised that whilst she certainly wasn't the most proficient, she had found her tribe. Through the kayaking she was invited to help on set on Midsummer Murders and the rest as they say is history, she retrained learning swift water and rope rescue, working at heights and confined spaces, with fire and setting up stunts and rigging. There then followed some incredible years where she felt that she was being paid to have the best time in life.  In 2013 after going away skiing she returned and was unable to see her daughter across the room. Four months later she'd had her driving license removed which knocked onto no job and then no home. Her life felt as though it was falling apart.  She moved to South Devon and stormed along the South West Coast path. A few years on and she was part of walking groups for people with Visual Impairment and encouraging people to get out walking.  On moving to Worcester in 2021 she met an amazing group of strangers who became friends, a trip up Ben Nevis was followed by entering her first Ultra challenge a 50km over Exmoor. When she completed that she looked for her next challenge.  During lockdown she'd dreamed she'd walked from Scotland to Devon, she decided to make this a reality and so Nicky's most marvellous ridiculous adventure was born. Walking from the Orkney Islands to the Scilly Isles. Solo and unsupported.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss out.  You can support the Tough Girl mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media - especially in relation to adventure and physical challenge by signing up as a patron. www.patreon.com/toughgirlpodcast.

Today, Lori is interviewing Laurie Buchanan. They'll be talking about Impervious and the mechanics of writing a series. Laurie writes the Sean McPherson novels—fast-paced thrillers set in the Pacific Northwest featuring a trifecta of malice and the pursuit and cost of justice. As a photographer and avid reader, she carries a laptop, book, and camera with her wherever she goes. Growing up, she wanted to be a magician, international spy, and mad scientist. There's still time! She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her pilot-husband, Len, where she enjoys yoga, bicycling, and camping. She loves to travel and take walks—long walks! She walked across Scotland, a 211-mile journey from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. At the mid-point, she climbed Ben Nevis, the highest point in the British Isles. You can find her on her website or follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.   In this episode Laurie Buchanan and Lori discuss: The nuances of writing respectfully outside of your own experience. Pantsing through an eight book series. Maintaining a character's story arc across multiple manuscripts.   Plus, her #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/453

Person Irresponsible, or PI as most people call her, describes herself as having been “fat, funny, forty-something, and in her fourth year of recovery when she felt an unfathomable urge to walk across America”. Previously she had hiked from the sofa to the fridge and back and considered camping to be a loathsome pursuit. She was also a confirmed nicotine addict and had never even considered climbing the UK's highest mountain: a 4,000 footer called Ben Nevis.And yet something drew her to the Pacific Crest Trail. She didn't fully realize just how big a mistake she'd made until she hiked her way up the first mountain in Southern California. And if all that wasn't bad enough, a global pandemic broke out in the middle of the excursion - leaving her to be one of the very few people to remain in the wilderness.PI relied on everything she'd been taught in the AA fellowship to haul herself from Mexico to Canada. She then set about writing a book on how twelve-step thinking kept her from succumbing to the mental demons that lurked within. She called the book “Everything You Ever Taught Me” to honor her fellow alcoholics who have recorded their stories and wisdom in podcast format. She had listened to at least one podcast each day and it was their voices that kept her company day after laborious day: always reminding her that the twelve steps are a program for living that truly work - in all circumstances.Episode ResourcesEverything You Ever Taught Me | Everything You Ever Taught MeConnect with The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastYouTube | The Courage to Change PodcastTikTok | @ashleyloebblassingamePodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifePodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastLionrock ResourcesLionrock Life Mobile App | lionrock.life/mobile-appSupport Group Meeting Schedule | lionrock.life/meetings
