“It's really important that I get outside, out of the fluorescent lights, out of my uniform, and chase my own dreams and chase my own wants and desires outside of the career that I love so much.”Sarah Barker says that she can't fully explain what it is about Kinder Scout that she loves so much but she thinks it's because it makes her feel a certain way. It feels safe one minute and threatening another and she likes the challenge of both those places. In the first part of this interview you'll listen to Sarah talking about her first wildcamp on Kinder Scout and why she leaves the comfort of her family home to go out alone in nature to spend a night on a local hill or mountain. We recorded this part while hunkered down in the porch of her tent on Grindslow Knoll until we gave in to the howling wind and cold to the warmth of a log fire in my bungalow in Edale village.In the second half of the interview, Sarah shares why she started her YouTube channel which beautifully documents her wildcamping trips, how she learned navigation skills and of course what makes her Wild About Kinder. Sarah's biographySarah is a Midwife, she chose this career path because she has an innate passion and drive for nurturing people. Supporting families through vulnerable life events is at the core of who she is and she gains a great deal of satisfaction from caring for birthing people as they become families. She lives with her Husband, teenage children and 4 dachshunds near the Peak District and has recently been working on renovating her forever home. She has a YouTube channel with over 3000 subscribers and 74 videos published to date. She started filming her camping adventures in 2024 and now believes that her videos have become an important extension to her camps to keep them alive for longer. The unique connections that she has made with ‘the best friends she may never meet' continues to bring her joy and is highly motivating for herself and for others who either wish to explore the outdoors themselves or do so already. This diary of memories will continue to build throughout her exploration of the Peak District predominantly and become a legacy to her family when she is no longer able to do it.

Martin Porter says that the 1932 Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout is two stories that cross over. One is the story about how we regained access to the land, and the other one is the story of British communism. In this interview he sets the wider historical context, shares his interpretation of the event, and describes some of the people involved. Later on in the episode Martin talks about his personal connection with Kinder Scout and the trespass, describes his favourite walk and finally adds the role of Edale in the Kinder trespass. Martin lives in Glossop and is the grandson of Claude Porter who was part of the Kinder Trespass in 1932.Martin has been an environmental activist for more than 20 years and helps to run the Manchester Greenpeace Group.

Where did you feel separated from during the national lockdowns? Yvonne says that she longed for Kinder Scout in a way she never had before, missing it almost as she would an old friend. In this interview, Yvonne reads two of her poems, ‘To a Snow Hare' and ‘Dear Tor', while sitting among the boulders of the Woolpacks on Kinder Scout. She chose this setting because of the characterful rocks that resemble living creatures. I asked her about her creative process, what she has learnt about protecting mountain hares, how poetry has become part of her life, and why Kinder Scout is a special place to her. I think you'll really enjoy Yvonne's eloquent storytelling, fun nature and stirring words.A mountain hare came hopping past while recording which was only the second time that Yvonne has seen one on Kinder Scout. We were lucky to capture this very special experience while the microphones were on. Yvonne Reddick is a poet and researcher.

“I love to imagine I'm back home on the hill that started it all for me, even though it's worlds apart.” In this interview we listen to Andrew Terrill's memories of walking, running and bivvying on Kinder Scout and why these experiences have had such a powerful and lasting impact in his life. He says that being in nature gave him the confidence to be himself.You'll soon be able to tell that Andrew is a writer because of the way that he expresses himself and shares his anecdotes. He is a wonderful storyteller and reflects on his memories of Kinder with fondness. He says that he misses wandering in the mist, the sideways rain and the bogs squelching underfoot and being cold and damp.This interview is entertaining, heart-warming and inspiring. We hear from a man who shares openly and generously about how his journeys have changed him. There's an air of curiosity and playfulness to his storytelling that I think you'll find really engaging. Andrew has written two books: The Earth Beneath My Feet (published June 1, 2021) and On Sacred Ground (published October 1, 2022). The books take readers on a 7,000-mile wilderness walk into the heart of wild nature. He also writes regularly on his blog which he describes as an outdoor diary, and shares beautiful photography.

Today's book is a slightly different type of book to actually almost anything that I've ever read before Kinder scout the people's mountain by Ed Douglas and John Beattie looks like a coffee table book. It is big. It is full of absolutely beautiful photography but also some incredibly accessible and interesting prose about the social history and the environmental history of the area around kinder scout in the Peak District. It was a real joy today to talk to Nicola Fisher about this book, what the book has meant to her, what Kinder Scout and the outdoors mean to her and how we could all do with considering these areas a lot more in our own lives.Follow Nicola on Twitter here https://twitter.com/NicolaFisherRN

In 2019 Anita Sethi was on a trans Pennine train journey when she was racially abused by a man who later pleaded guilty to the offence. During the attack he told her to go back to where she belonged. Having been born and raised in Manchester Anita feels very strongly that the North of England is where she belongs and as a way of working through the shock and trauma of the incident she began a journey through the Pennines on foot beginning at the uplifting and positively named Hope in the Peak District. Clare joins her for a hike in the steep countryside to Edale taking in Mam Tor and Kinder Scout. Producer: Maggie Ayre

Kinder Scout has a special place in Wayne's psyche. When he was a child, his father would drive regularly along the snake pass. Due to unreliable automotive mechanics they often had to take pit stops along the pass. At the time he was reading passages of Lord of the Rings to Wayne and images of the misty Snake Wood and views of Fairbrook Naze made quite an impression on this estate kid from the North West. Since then, Wayne has had many adventures on Kinder Scout and he's on a mission to represent this beguiling place in his artwork.In this interview, Wayne shares how terrifying tall tales and snatch sightings of Kinder Scout from afar captured his imagination and ignited his curiosity. He shares with us how, in contrast, he feels when he's having a mooch and an amble on Kinder Scout these days; what he learns about the landscape by drawing it and how an appreciation of the practice of historical and contemporary landscape artists informs his thinking, painting and teaching practice. Wayne is Director of Creative Arts at Redhill Academy Trust and Head of Art at Brookfield Community School.This interview was recorded in four parts. We met at the Winter Gardens in Sheffield for coffee and lunch before heading to a Millenium Gallery store for a private tour of a selection of stunning landscape art exhibitions selected by Wayne. A few weeks later we met in Edale for a short walk on Kinder Scout where we recorded outside close to Jacob's Ladder. Finally, we met at the Penny Pot Cafe in Edale for a sketching tutorial and lots of coffee!

Angela Barnes and John O'Farrell cavort through history and uncover the most fascinating and down-right bizarre events. This time; the day hundreds of walkers asserted the Right To Roam across the Peak District against the wishes of the landed gentry who wanted the hills kept private so they could shoot grouse. John and Angela really struggle to take sides on this one.  The protest is seen as an important catalyst to securing access to the countryside, but has the simple story of one dramatic day of action obscured the truth about the decades of diligent campaigning that did the hard work? Trigger warning; this episode includes John singing a snippet of a folk song.

Kinder Scout is a place steeped in memory, reflection and gratitude for Pete Wallroth. In this interview he shares his personal connection with the brooding landscape through family life, loss and grief.Pete loved walking on Kinder Scout with his late wife Mair, eventually prompting them to move to Glossop so that they could access Kinder Scout more easily. After her death at 41 he walked many of the same routes with his daughter in tow and now carrying her little brother too. In his grief and recovery he began running and his first forays into trail and fell running were to retrace and run those same routes that had brought them to the area in the first place. Pete is the founder and CEO of the charity Mummy's Star, set up in 2013 in memory of his wife Mair, to offer support to women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy or within 12 months of having a baby.

How does Kinder Scout influence and impact the communities that live around it? In this interview we hear the perspective of a resident farmer in Edale. Andrew Critchlow shares fascinating historical information about Edale and Kinder Scout, his knowledge about farming, and his interest in land management. At the end he describes what makes him wild about Kinder Scout, and what his life here has taught him. While listening, you can experience atmospheric background sounds recorded from the area - headphones will be best for this.Andrew Critchlow is the county advisor of the Derbyshire branch of the National Farmers' Union (NFU), and a part-time farmer.

He lost his father in 1986 so he took on the farm with his mother when he was 20 years old. He modernised the farm, expanded the dairy herd, and in 1992 took on looking after Grindslow House farm for the Noel family until he decided to step back from full-time farming in 2006. Since then he has been representing the farming industry and agriculture in Derbyshire, including his work for the NFU since 2012.ReferenceNFUKinder Beer Barrel RaceCorrectionAndrew said the old sheep pens on the bottom of the moor were on the west side, it was in fact the east side of Crowden.Recording dateThis interview was recorded in Edale on 30th November 2022.Host & ProductionHost & Editor - Sarah Lister, About The AdventureArt designer - Alec Boyd, The Northern ProjectSupported by Peak District National ParkThis project is supported by the Peak District National Park Communities Small Grants Scheme.Contact the hostYou can email sarah@sarahventurer.com to send in your comments and suggestions.Get involved with the conversationShare your thoughts by tagging @about.the.adventure and @peakdistrictnationalpark on Instagram @ABTheAdventure and @peakdistrict on Twitter, with the hashtag #WildAboutKinder.

Folk musician Johnny Campbell is recording an album of songs from the summits and industrial hotspots of northern England. Jez Lowe joins him at Kinder Scout in Derbyshire to celebrate ninety years since the ‘Right to Roam' movement began and explore the traditional songs of the Peak District. Jez meets local singer Bella Hardy to hear how her home in Edale has inspired and influenced her work, and writer Roly Smith who can explain the history of Kinder and the 1932 mass trespass. It may be ninety years ago, but for young global folk stars Kate Griffin and Ford Collier of Mishra, the call for a right to roam is still relevant. They have recorded a version of Ewan MacColl's ‘Manchester Rambler', a song inspired by the Kinder trespass. Jez meets Kate, Ford, Johnny and Bella to hear how a new generation of musicians are continuing MacColl's legacy of folk singers fighting for our rights in the countryside. Produced by Helen Lennard

In this episode, we celebrate the importance of accessing green space and consider the historical actions of others and how these actions made it possible for us to enjoy the ability to ramble in the countryside.These conversations were recorded over the Kinder Mass Trespass 90th anniversary weekend in the High Peaks of Derbyshire in Hayfield village hall.I want to thank Joss Underwood from the Tent People, who organised a fantastic pop-up event on the village green in Hayfield and generously introduced me to today's guests, Helen Darby, Dorothy Collins and  Kate Ashbrook. Ninety years ago, members of the young communist league gathered at Kinder Scout here in Derbyshire, to highlight the fact that walkers were denied access to areas of open country. When the group reached the plateau of Kinder Scout, there were violent scuffles with gamekeepers. As a result, six ramblers were arrested. They received jail sentences ranging from two to six months for offences relating to violence involving the keepers.According to the Hayfield Kinder Trespass Group website, this act of civil disobedience was one of the most successful in British history. It arguably led to the passage of the National Parks legislation in 1949[8] and helped pave the way for establishing the Pennine Way and other long-distance footpaths. Walkers' rights to travel through common land and uncultivated upland were eventually protected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CROW Act) of 2000. ReferenceReach Helen Darby  on Instagram @helenlouisedarby or at their website www.helendarbypoetry.com Follow Kate Ashbrook's blog here: https://campaignerkate.wordpress.com/Castlefield viaduct: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/castlefield-viaductFind out more about the Tent People:  www.thetentpeople.co.ukHayfield Kinder Trespass Group: https://kindertrespass.org.uk/

Clare walks with a listener known as Caravan who spent six years living homeless in the Peak District, an area he knows well thanks to his love of outdoor pursuits. This series of Ramblings is being led by its listeners, people who have written to the programme with a story and a walk that they want to share. Caravan (not his real name) emailed to tell us about his experience of prolonged homelessness over thirty years ago. Central to his survival was the Peak District where he found both physical shelter, by way of railway stations, and also a feeling of sanctuary and anonymity during the most difficult years of his life. They recorded this walk just after the intense July heatwave, which meant their planned Kinder Scout hike was inaccessible, closed due to the risk of wildfires. Instead they met in the village of Hartington and followed a route through Dovedale. Presenter: Clare Balding Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Karen Gregor

Do you look at Kinder Scout in awe, wondering how the landscape was formed? In this interview with Gemma Scougal, we explore some of the geological features and the stories behind them. You'll also hear about her first impression of Kinder Scout, how her passion for the outdoors has developed, why she decided to qualify as a Hill and Moorland Leader, and how she communicates her scientific knowledge in an engaging way when leading groups. At the end she describes what makes her wild about Kinder Scout. While listening, you can experience atmospheric background sounds recorded from the area - headphones will be best for this. Gemma is a professional geologist who, after a geology field trip to Castleton as an undergraduate, was thrilled when she moved closer to the Peak. She never gets bored of coming to Kinder; it's full of wonderful stories to tell through geological, natural and human history. In 2018 she founded her side-hustle, WildWays, as a way to share her passion and enthusiasm for the outdoors with others, providing guided walks and navigation skills in the Peak District and South Yorkshire designed for all abilities.  As well as earth sciences, she loves running, road cycling, climbing and hill walking.  Questions How can you best describe your personal connection with Kinder Scout? How do you feel when you spend time here? When did you first come here and what was that experience like? How has your appreciation and passion for the outdoors developed? Where do you think is a good place for people to start if they haven't grown up being outdoors a lot? Why did you decide to do Hill and Moorland Leader training? Did you already have quite a good knowledge of map and compass skills before you started? Where did your interest in geology begin? Can you share a bit of Kinder Scout's geological story? How do you explain to people how the landscape has formed and what people can see? Have the boulders fallen down from somewhere? Do you expect this landscape to change over time? Can you explain a little bit more about what's meant by delta? What's beneath our boots when we're walking on paths? Do you still feel a sense of awe even though you've studied geology and worked in the area? Why is this area referred to as the "Dark Peak"? How does it contrast to the White Peak? How do you bring your interest in earth science into your work as a Hill and Moorland Leader? How do people usually respond when you lead them on walks here?

This is the last of my conversations recorded over the Kinder Mass Trespass ninetieth anniversary weekend in the High Peaks of Derbyshire in Hayfield village hall.Ninety years ago, members of the young communist league gathered at Kinder Scout here in Derbyshire to highlight that walkers were denied access to areas of open country. When the group reached the plateau of Kinder Scout, there were violent scuffles with gamekeepers, and five ramblers were arrested. They received jail sentences ranging from two to six months for offences relating to violence involving the keepers.It is easy to complacent about our access to open country. We assume that the numerous studies providing overwhelming evidence that walking in nature improves both physical and mental health will be enough to ensure that footpaths remain enshrined in law as public rights of way. Sadly this isn't true; our access is constantly under threat as more and more green space is earmarked for development. Luckily my guest today, Kate Ashbrook, has dedicated her life to campaigning for our right to roam in the countryside.    Kate has been general secretary of the Open Spaces Society, Britain's oldest national conservation body, for more than 35 years. She was also the first woman and youngest-ever chair of the Ramblers Association, and patron of the Walkers Are Welcome Towns Network, as well as many other environmental groups. Her campaigning was hugely influential in establishing Walkers' rights to travel through common land and uncultivated upland, protected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CROW Act) of 2000. Kate's values and character are integral to her role, and she says, "it is vital to be tough and fearless never to start by compromising, or you give away too much and never give up." During her time as a trustee of the Ramblers Association, she has never missed a committee meeting.  She acknowledges the gravitas of her work; "we are not a fringe group, we are mainstream, we change lives, and we save lives."It is a great privilege to converse with Kate, especially in Hayfield on the historic ninetieth anniversary of the Kinder Trespass.Kate says, "But history is not an end in itself, it informs our future, and we can learn from it. It gives us credibility and clout. We must never forget that proud record of campaigning and take it with us into future battles." I thank Kate and wish her every success as she selflessly campaigns on behalf of all of us who appreciate the ability to access open spaces.  Follow Kate Ashbrook's blog here: https://campaignerkate.wordpress.com/Find out more about the Tent People:  www.thetentpeople.co.ukHayfield Kinder Trespass Group: https://kindertrespass.org.uk/  

Kinder Mass Trespass: Celebrating John Anderson, one of the trespassers jailed for his action.In this episode of Our Community, I'm in the village of Hayfield in the high peaks of Derbyshire on the ninetieth anniversary weekend of the historic Kinder Mass Trespass.Ninety years ago, members of the young communist league gathered at Kinder Scout here in Derbyshire to highlight that walkers were denied access to areas of open country. When the group reached the plateau of Kinder Scout, there were violent scuffles with gamekeepers. As a result, six ramblers were arrested. They received jail sentences ranging from two to six months for offences relating to alleged violence involving the keepers.One of the men arrested was called John Anderson, and in this, the second of three conversations recorded over the Kinder Mass Trespass 90th anniversary weekend in the High Peaks of Derbyshire in Hayfield village hall, I'm honoured to be talking to John Anderson's niece, Dorothy Collins and her daughter Lisa Holland.They share some of their memories of John, known as Jack and also discuss the impact his jail sentence had on his and his family's life. Taking a stand is brave, and now ninety years later, we can look back at the impact of John Anderson's action. The mass trespass can be said to have led to the passage of the National Parks legislation in 1949[8] and helped pave the way for the establishment of the Pennine Way and other long-distance footpaths. Walkers' rights to travel through common land and uncultivated upland were eventually protected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CROW Act) of 2000.We should keep in mind Dorothy's phrase 'he never got over it' when describing the impact of the trespass on John's life. Most of us are not called to act; we merely benefit from the actions of others. I thank Joss Underwood from the Tent People, who generously introduced me to Dorothy and Lisa. ReferencesReach Helen on Instagram @helenlouisedarby or at their website www.helendarbypoetry.com Find out more about the Tent People:  www.thetentpeople.co.ukHayfield Kinder Trespass Group: https://kindertrespass.org.uk/     

In this episode of Our Community, I'm in the village of Hayfield in the high peaks of Derbyshire on the ninetieth anniversary weekend of the historic Kinder Mass Trespass. The physical and mental consolations of nature are one of life's great gifts but granting working class people access to the countryside has long been fraught with conflict. Ninety years ago members of the young communist league gathered at Kinder Scout here in Derbyshire, to highlight the fact that walkers were denied access to areas of open country. When the group reached the plateau of Kinder Scout, there were violent scuffles with gamekeepers. As a result, six ramblers were arrested. They received jail sentences ranging from two to six months for offences relating to violence involving the keepers.According to the Hayfield Kinder Trespass Group website, this act of civil disobedience was one of the most successful in British history. It arguably led to the passage of the National Parks legislation in 1949[8] and helped pave way for the establishment of the Pennine Way and other long-distance footpaths. Walkers' rights to travel through common land and uncultivated upland were eventually protected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CROW Act) of 2000. This is the first of three conversations recorded over the Kinder Mass Trespass 90th anniversary weekend in the High Peaks of Derbyshire in Hayfield village hall.I want to thank Joss Underwood from the Tent People, who organised a fantastic pop-up event on the village green in Hayfield and generously introduced me to today's guest; Helen Darby. Helen is a queer, non-binary poet from Manchester who lives in the High Peak. They often write about the interweaving of place, time, class and identity, and sometimes about internet dating.They have performed invited guest slots at Lancaster Spotlight, That's What She Said Manchester, Superbia for Manchester Pride, Manchester Museum, New Mills Festival, The Bronte Festival of Women's Writing, Stirred and She Grrrowls in Edinburgh Free Fringe, amongst others.   Their poems have recently been published in The Broken Spine and the modernist magazines.In this recording, Helen delivers a beautiful rendition of their powerful poem; 1932 Kinder Scout ·         We talk about the importance of open spaces for leisure and how the relief of the countryside was vital for the mill factory workers around Manchester.·         How celebrating and understanding historical events such as the Kinder Mass Trespass is vital to 'keeping the flame alive and fostering understanding of connection and context.·         How socialist roots and collective action shape people.    Reach Helen on Instagram @helenlouisedarby or at their website www.helendarbypoetry.comFind out more about the Tent People:  www.thetentpeople.co.ukHayfield Kinder Trespass Group: https://kindertrespass.org.uk/

It's 90 years since hundreds of walkers organised a mass trespass on a mountain in the English Peak District called Kinder Scout. It was a major step in the fight by workers in the northern industrial city of Manchester for access to the surrounding countryside, much of which was in private hands. In 2012, Simon Watts brought together the memories of survivors of the Trespass as recorded in the BBC archives. PHOTO: The countryside around Kinder Scout (Getty Images)

What made the Team Leader of Edale Mountain Rescue Team (EMRT) smitten with Kinder Scout? Find out by listening to this interview with Dave Torr who describes his first encounter. You'll also hear about how he got involved with EMRT, what types of incidents they usually deal with on Kinder, and why he chooses to dedicate his time to this volunteer service. At the end he describes what makes him wild about Kinder Scout. While listening, you can experience atmospheric background sounds recorded from the area - headphones will be best for this. Dave Torr became a trainee member of Edale Mountain Rescue Team in 2010, and was appointed team leader in March 2020. Prior to this, he worked for BT as a Senior Technician. In addition to his outdoor interests - which have included caving, climbing, walking, fell running and mountain biking - Dave taught Jiu Jitsu for 20 years as a 4th dan. In recent years, he has become a keen student of the history and archaeology of the Peak District's Eastern Moors. He writes a blog on the history and archaeology of this area and runs a private Facebook group, "Big Moor Society'' which covers mainly the area of Big Moor on the eastern edges of the Peak District.

Go behind the scenes to hear about the working life of retired Peak District National Park ranger Gordon Miller, who was the Area Ranger in Edale for over 30 years. Listen to this interview to find out what inspired him to dedicate his working life to the Park and ranger services, how he's seen Kinder Scout change over time, and why he decided to live in Edale. At the end he describes what makes him wild about Kinder Scout. While listening, you can experience atmospheric background sounds recorded from the area - headphones will be best for this. *Gordon Miller is a retired Peak District National Park ranger, who was brought up in Stockport and first visited Kinder Scout on a camping trip in 1953. Brought up in urban Stockport, he decided in 1953 on a camping trip at the age of 12 that he wanted to work in the newly-formed Peak District National Park, and tagged along with wardens (as they were then called) until he could officially become a volunteer at 18. He became a full-time warden in 1969, and when the job-title changed to ranger in the 1970s he began to develop professionalism and begin international co-operation. Gordon pioneered many ranger training courses, working with experts at Losehill Hall, the Peak District National Park's learning and conference centre, to develop professionalism in nature protection. He is a former chairman of the Association of Countryside Rangers and instigated exchange visits and seminars to help rangers in Europe to learn from each other. He went on to be a founder and president of The International Ranger Federation, founded on 31 July 1992 in the UK, which represents rangers in 50 countries. In 2009 he received the highest accolade awarded by the European Federation of National Parks for his outstanding role in strengthening ranger services worldwide. Gordon retired as a full-time Peak District ranger in 2002, after 33 years mostly responsible for the Kinder area around Edale in the heart of the national park, where he made his home in the 1960s. *Biography details have been taken from sections of an https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/learning-about/news/archive/2009/news/peak-district-ranger-receives-highest-european-accolade (archived press release) on the Peak District National Park website.

[13:34 - 18:36] What was your life like during this role? [18:40 - 21:49] What key things have you learnt about the environment, the wildlife, and the communities that surround Kinder Scout?

Another unscripted, meandering, insightful chat, between hosts Stuart and William. A very real discussion, as they examine a listener question, from Cliff in Radley, Oxfordshire, England. "Various protests are popping up to commemorate the mass trespass that happened back in the 1930s on Kinder Scout in the Peak District, in the north of England. People are being encouraged to reclaim our land and trespass on land marked private. Should people trespass at all, and is there ever an acceptable case for trespassing? And should these protestors go off and get themselves jobs so that they can buy their own bit of land, no matter how small? Plus are they going to then turn on their protests towards people's right to own their own homes?" Do you have a question you'd like Stuart and William to examine, explore or debate?

On this day in 1932, hundreds of ramblers protested being denied access to open country by trespassing at Kinder Scout, a moorland plateau in England. / This day in 1914 is widely considered the beginning of the Armenian genocide, though Armenian massacres had occurred previously.

For those who enjoy the freedom and rights to walk in or on our National Parks, Footpaths and rural byways in fact anywhere which is recognised as a national Right Of Way you are probably unaware of the historic nature of how this came into being following the Kinder Scout Trespass of 1932.Kinder Scout was a turning point in outdoor history. Without it we would be excluded from all wild places which would be fenced off and under strict private control of landowners through the UK.Currently access to the inland waterways in the UK is restricted to 4%. Imagine if we only had access to 4% of the the land and parks and open places we take for granted. We would be outraged and yet the water based enthusiasts have to accept this, or do they?There is currently a campaign gaining momentum for all water based enthusiasts, paddlers, wild swimmers, SUP users to gain Clear Access Clear Waters and work in harmony with other respective organisations to find a path through this confusing legislation.The waterways are no different to our other land based highways. Everyone from walkers to lorry drivers have to work with all the other users to maximise use and pleasure and functionality from the highways. Be it walkers, cyclists, equestrian, motorbikes, cars through to heavy good vehicles.This interview is with Ben Seal, Places To Paddle Manager at British Canoeing who are a main instigator in this campaign for all water enthusiasts. if you feel strongly about what you hear place sign the petition and support their efforts.

Hello :) This episode is all about Kinder Scout, an open plateau in the centre of the Peak District in England. I start by talking a bit about its location and its history, concentrating on the Mass Trespass back in 1932 that may have launched the 'right to roam' movement in the UK. The rest of the pod mentions the things you can see and visit on it, like the Kinder Downfall waterfall, the rock formations, the rock scrambles you can clamber up, and the mysterious 'Kinder Triangle'. I end by talking a bit about hiking barefoot, and why I'm not recommending that you do this. Contributions come from Becky The Traveller, Nat from NatPackerTravel, and Jeni (A Peak District Mum). Warning, contains singing.

Hello again! How are you all? Just a little catch up as circumstances have changed, but all is well :-) This was recorded Thursday afternoon. Photo taken by Danny on Kinder Scout, Dark Peak.

Walking around the countryside ("rambling") is very important to the British, and they don't take kindly to the idea that unoccupied land is off-limits to walkers. The so-called Right to Roam, even on privately owned land, is the direct result of ... direct action. In 1932 a group of walking enthusiasts / Communists in Manchester engaged in mass civil disobedience by walking across the Duke of Devonshire's land at a spot called Kinder Scout. They won. 20 years later, that spot became the first UK national park (Peak District). An inspiring story of collective action and the public good.  Minicasts are short stories for fans of quick, to-the-point podcasts and as a nice change of pace from the longer full episodes of Mass for Shut-ins.

On a wet and windy summer's day Jarvis Cocker takes you to the remote village of Edale and Kinder a landscape he has fallen in love with. He first came across the Peak District while he was a pupil in his native Sheffield and came out on a school trip which he says no–one wanted to go on. However, after two days of exploring he says something happened – something clicked in his head and he didn’t want to admit it but he started to enjoy the landscape. Over the last 40 years it’s a region he has regularly visited and explored and is now truly hooked. To introduce more people to this landscape especially people from the cities, Jarvis along with artist Jeremy Deller and the National Trust who own Kinder Scout has created a trail ‘Be Kinder’. The trail winds its way along a route stretching almost two miles from the tiny railway station in Edale to the foot of the plateau of Kinder Scout to mark the 1932 mass trespass on Kinder Scout. This mass trespass was all about allowing working class people access to the countryside something Jarvis wants to rekindle as he wants everyone to discover the magic and beauty he has found in this landscape. The presenter is Jarvis Cocker and the producer is Perminder Khatkar. Contributors: Jeremy Deller, actress Maxine Peake, Gordon Miller and MEP Magid Magid.

Kinder Scout's magical mermaid pool is steeped in legend. The pool, an icy body of water nestled within the folds of Kinder Scout’s rugged terrain, has been associated with beautiful mermaids and Celtic water rituals for millennia.

Paul Besley, author and Mountain Rescue volunteer, shares stories from his 40-plus years of walking in the Peaks. In this mini-episode, he explains just why Kinder Scout’s pleasures keep him coming back, and warns of its perils.

In the first of our ‘walking’ podcasts, presenter and National Trust ranger Kate Martin takes listeners on a pilgrimage to Kinder Scout, in the Peak District – the birthplace of the 'right to roam' movement and a landscape that has come to symbolise walking freedoms in the UK.

Ey Up Me Duck Challenge..  Find 2 caches with halloween / autumn related words in the title Feedback from Anteus.. Howdy from Texas! I’ve been listening to the show for at least a few months now after hearing it mentioned a few times on some of the geocaching related podcasts from here in the States. I think this Ey Up Me Duck challenge thing is some sort of contest… shoot, I don’t know, I can only understand Mark most of the time, and not a word of what Doctor D says! ;) So I think I’m submitting my entry for October! Here goes: I found two caches with ghost in the title and actually placed one with the word ghoul in it! The first cache I found was GC64MRE, “Ghost Stories: Glow In The Dark Under The Tree” and I was actually FTF! It was about 350 feet away from the posted coordinates but the hint got me to where I needed to be. The other cache was GCB5F0, “Ghost Children” which is a virtual at a local haunted location where the ghosts of the children killed in a collision with a train are said to push cars off of the tracks.  I also placed a cache over the weekend… an idea I sort of got from listening to Geosnippits. I 3D printed a zombie hand and had my wife paint it to look all gruesome… I then placed it outside of a cemetery where it looks to be reaching up out of the dirt with a bison tube stuck on one of its fingers. It’s GC6596A, “The Lost Cemetery of Alexander the Ghoul”. Oh and what the heck does Ey Up Me Duck mean?! Keep up the offensiving!

In April 1932, hundreds of walkers organised a mass trespass on a mountain in the English Peak District called Kinder Scout. The trespass was a major step in the fight for access to the British countryside. At the time, much wild land was privately owned and controlled by game-keepers. Witness hears from one of the last survivors of the Trespass. The programme also includes accounts of the protest in the BBC archive. (Photo: Kinder Scout. BBC copyright)

Almost 80 years since the Mass Trespass on Kinder Scout, Clare Balding joins ramblers from Manchester and Sheffield to mark this inspirational moment in walking history. On April 24th 1932, around 400 ramblers from Lancashire set off from Bowden Bridge quarry near Hayfield to walk up onto the plateau of Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Derbyshire Peak District, in protest at the lack of the right to roam on open land. As they scrambled upwards towards the moorland plateau of Kinder, the trespassers were met and confronted by the Duke of Devonshire's gamekeepers. A group of ramblers from Sheffield, who had also set off that morning from Edale, did eventually reach the plateau and the two groups met up before turning and retracing their steps. The following day six of the Manchester ramblers were arrested and imprisoned, a move which was to outrage many people and serve only to highlight and sympathise with the ramblers cause, resulting finally in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act in 2000 Today Clare joins members of the Sheffield Ramblers, as well as Manchester-born broadcaster and avid walker, Mike Harding. They represent the two groups of ramblers that set off from Edale and Hayfield respectively, to take part in the Mass Trespass back in 1932. Leaving from Bowden Bridge, just as the original trespassers did, the group walk towards Kinder Reservoir and on to William Clough, where the Duke of Devonshire's gamekeepers were waiting. As they walk, the old cross-Pennines rivalry is still in evidence as the Sheffield walkers remind Clare that it was their group that had actually reached the top all those years ago. But everyone on that day 80 years ago shared a common passion for the hills and the moors around which, as folk singer Ewan Maccoll wrote, no one man should have the right to own. The Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout was one of the most inspirational moments in the history of the rambling movement, inspiring walkers and campaigners of access to open land for years to come. It wasn't the only trespass to take place - there were others before it and many more inspired by it. But it lives on in the memory of all those who believe that all should have the right to roam.
