In this conversation with Helen Rennard we hear about her Winter Munro round of last winter in which she completed all 282 Munros in 80 days, beating the previous record of 83 days shared by Martin Moran (1985) and Anna Wells (2024).Helen talks about her formative days in a local Staffordshire hill walking club, before her progression to many years of hard Scottish winter climbing. She has held the female winter Tranter's round record in the past, as well as completing many winter climbing first ascents and hard repeat ascents around Scotland.We talk about motivations, logistics, weather conditions, and some of the factors that made Helen take a very ‘under the radar' approach to her round.

The Elsick Mounth is an ancient trackway, linking the River Dee to the Mearns, and is one of the routes featured in the new Scotsways guide on hill tracks. Mark and Rachel both met up with Colin Young, a Scotsways volunteer, who guided them along part of the route to point out some of the important historical and archaeological sites that can be seen from the track.Scotland's peatlands are an iconic part of the landscape, and have been undergoing targeted restoration across the country for the last fifteen years. Rachel visited Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, and met with their Peatland Action Project Officer, Tasha Craven, to find out more about the importance of this habitat.Edinburgh's New Town is full of important buildings and some exemplary stonework. Andrew McMillan is a member of the Edinburgh Geological Society, and has recently put together a guided tour of the area around St Andrew's Square, and Mark met with him to hear more about the area's impressive geoheritage.Lorraine McCall has an impressive list of mountain achievements to her name, having completed all the Corbetts and Munros, and being the first known woman to summit all the Grahams in a single journey – all while overcoming three separate cancer diagnoses. Rachel joined her on the Moray Coast to find out more about how she fared during these challenges.Mark and Rachel are joined by Iain Hepburn from Bright Spark Burning Techniques, to share his expertise on muirburn and it's use in fighting wild fires.Hedgehogs are beginning to emerge again in Scotland after their long hibernation, and the ‘Pledgehog' project, based in Dunbar, are gearing up for another year of helping to raise awareness of the little garden mammals. Rachel went along to meet up with Jen Walker, to find out how they are utilising trail cameras as part of local conservation efforts.

Lorraine McCall from the Highlands has overcome cancer three times in recent years. She has previously climbed all of Scotland's 221 Corbetts and 282 Munros.

Dr. Kerri Andrews is a writer, academic, and passionate walker whose work explores the deep connection between women, walking, and storytelling. She is the author of Wanderers: A History of Women Walking and editor of Way Makers: An Anthology of Women's Writing about Walking. Her latest book, Pathfinding: On Walking, Motherhood and Freedom, is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of how motherhood reshapes a woman's identity, freedom, and relationship with the outdoors. Having developed a love for walking in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, Kerri has since climbed over 100 Munros in Scotland, though she has yet to convince her two young children to join her.  In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, Kerri shares her journey through postnatal depression, the challenges of early motherhood, and how walking became a vital tool for self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. She also sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of historical women walkers, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of movement, motherhood, and independence. Tune in to hear Kerri's inspiring story and how she found her way back to herself—one step at a time. *** Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

In 2005, Lorraine McCall left her house to 'go for a walk' on her 40th birthday and didn't stop until she had walked up, and between, all 284 Munros in Scotland (2 Munros have since been downgraded, so there are now officially only 282!) This was a journey of 1,500 miles on foot. Ten years later, Lorraine tackled all 222 Corbetts to celebrate her 50th birthday, and most recently, Lorraine became the first woman to summit all 231 Grahams in a single push in 2024 (she's about to turn 60!) We think you will agree that Lorraine is Kenton's most under-stated, humble, unassuming guest so far. She has walked, cycled and kayaked thousands of miles across Scotland purely for the love of it. She shuns technology and her footprint on social media is tiny. In this episode we learn all about the classification of hills in Scotland and the challenges of getting up some of them, but mostly we come away with an appreciation for Lorraine who found her chosen adventures and embraced them wholeheartedly, overcoming the difficulties and continually finding joy in them.

This week we welcome Fiona Russell to the podcast; you may know her better as Fiona Outdoors!Fiona helped us open many doors when we both started out ultra-marathoning. Her always entertaining takes on events and routes on her website doing more than enough to inspire us in to action!She's become a constant voice of support and positivity for not only running but outdoor activities in general, especially across Scotland.We're delighted to hear about Fiona's own running journey, her passion and desire to motivate others evident throughout. Fiona let's us know about her next running adventure too, an exciting trip to Italy later in the year beckons for that one!This episode is much more about just running though, Fiona's repertoire in the outdoorsy world is huge after all, so from learning navigation, to bagging Munros, skiing and canoeing are all covered.We hear about how Fiona has changed her own running to adapt to advancing years and how age is no barrier to exploring and adventuring.Oh, and we've a couple of dialect dictionary words that require parental advisory warning!!Enjoy our chat with the legendary Fiona Outdoors cos we certainly did.Check out more (much much more) from Fiona on her website here FIONA OUTDOORS

Scotland has its own name for mountains - they're called Munros. Well, anything over 3000 ft is a Munro, anyway. There are nearly 300 of them and there's a whole sub-culture in Scotland of people trying to climb them. It's called Munro-bagging.We asked noted Munro-bagger Garry Stevenson from Being Scottish to tell us all about his experience bagging Munros. In this episode we cover:Scotland's result in the recent Euro CupHow he got into Munro-baggingThe hardest Munro he has ever climbedThe Munro he'd recommend people start withHave thoughts?

In this episode I sit down with Alice Tirbooman to talk about her journey from aerial circus and climbing in Bristol, to solo Scottish long distance running. We share tales of the remote and unsung Mullardoch Round, a 50km circuit of 12 Munros north of Glen Affric, which Alice ran solo and unsupported in 2022 and 2023. She then contrasts this with her racing experiences which range from the London Marathon, to the Glencoe Skyline and Jura Fell Race. We talk about Alice's solo traverse of the Cuillin Ridge, which combined her running and climbing skills in a rewarding challenge which was made all the more valuable by an unexpected twist, when her climbing partner had to pull out during the approach walk. Initially nervous about continuing alone, Alice found her flow and with this a deeper confidence in her own abilities and strengths. Alice's father is from Mauritius and her mother from the West Country. She talks about the lack of racial diversity in hill running, and the potential lack of role models in the sport for minority ethnic runners. Alice is a member of Westerlands Running Club and has found the running community to be a welcoming and inclusive place. She talks about possible ways to enhance representation within the sport, and the benefits of promoting running to a wider and more diverse audience. * I state that ‘no-one owns the mountains'. More accurately I mean no one ‘should' own the mountains; that the right to roam them (responsibly) should be for all.

In this episode, we chat with Robert McSkimming about growing up together playing football, his time in the army, and what inspired him to climb all 282 Munros in Scotland. It's a story of grit, challenges, and the drive to push beyond limits. Link to Roberts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robert_mcskimming/

Det märks att vi läser en nobelpristagare i litteratur, texten är tät och vi är eniga om att man inte kommer undan med lite slöläsning när vi pratar Munro. Slappa till lite och vi är helt borta och måste börja om. Novellerna är fantastiska och vilken berättarteknik! Men vi diskuterar även det mörka i Munros liv, hur hon reagerade på övgreppen mot sin egen dotter och hur det kunskapen eventuellt påverkar hur vi tolkar hennes texter?

How many have you bagged? Mountaineers and hikers from across the UK and beyond have flocked to Scotland to take on the Munros – Scottish peaks more than 3,000 feet high – ever since the list of such mountains was created by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. The National Trust for Scotland cares for 46 of these Munros, including Ben Lomond, Ben Lawers, Ben Macdui and Torridon's Spidean a'Choire Léith. Jackie Bird sits down with Andrew Dempster, author of The Munros: A History, to trace the ever-increasing popularity of Munro bagging.  Who was the first to complete all 282 peaks? What new records continue to be set? And what is it about Hugh Munro's list that has so significantly captured the public imagination?

In one of my favourite episodes so far, I chat to Kevin Woods about his Winter Munro Round in which he completed all 282 Munros over the brutal winter of 2019/20. Delving into logistics and preparation for the Winter Munro Round gives a glimpse of Kev's incredible depth of mountain experience, having previously completed 4 (non continuous) rounds of the Munros. As an example of his meticulous planning, he carefully compiled a database of winter weather patterns over multiple winters, which he used to aid his decision making over the winter Munros project - in a winter season of relentless stormy weather. As if the continuous westerly storm cycles weren't enough, March 2020 brought with it new and unexpected challenges of a very different kind. Kev's recent Arrochar Round takes in all the Munros (4) and Corbetts (7) of the Arrochar hills, in a rugged 52km loop with around 6000m of ascent. Kev laid down a time of 13h54m for this round in his local hills, which could well become a connoisseur's classic. Our wide ranging conversation touches on many aspects of mountain culture including connection to place, historic depopulation of the land, changing land use and the intertwined history of the mountains with the people who live on and near them. Kev hails from Glasgow and takes us through his earlier mountain memories, which then led into climbing and longer linkups. From his beginnings its clear that creativity and the artist's aesthetic are large drivers for Kev - be that in his music, his media work or his many hills days themselves. In the course of working on a film about Sir Hugh Munro for the Munro Society, Kev has delved into stories from a bygone era, and through this has discovered a deeper understanding of the Scottish hills, not just as "cathedrals of our sport" but as places steeped in and changed by human history - from the Clearances to early map making, from Victorian attitudes to adventure and Land Access right through to modern pressures on the land. He also talks us through some of the climbing guidebooks he has been working on, previous adventures such as the filming of Dave Macleod's "24/8", and other projects, including an upcoming book on Winter 282.

This week, Kenton chats to Anna Wells who, just two weeks ago, became the first female to ever complete a Winter Munro Round. Anna climbed all 282 Munros between 22nd December 2023 and 14th March 2024 - a feat only achieved by three others in history. Anna took three months leave from her day job and careered head first into this awe-inspiring challenge. She climbed mountains in all weathers, many of them on her own, and she clocked some very long days. At the end of the challenge she covered 155km and 11,000m of ascent in three days! Anna is super passionate about being in the mountains and she and Kenton really hit it off in this episode!

On this episode of the SABULOUS podccast, Sabs speaks to Nigerian explorer - and bagger (yes it is an official term) of Scottish and Welsh mountain summits - the  inspirational role model David O Solomon  In this conversation they discuss: Coming to the UK, living in London and deciding - after one year - to make his home in Edinburgh.  Becoming a father and travelling regularly to Inverness (Highland terriory). Deciding to complete his university education in Aberdeen.  Ethnically diverse communities in Scotland.  How a remark from a Canadian traveller he met inspired him to explore a hill 25-minutes form home. 'I want to see it for myself!' The impact on lockdown and how geoegraphical resrictions allowed him to summit Ben Nevis and, in that journey, ignite a mission to bag all 282 Scottish Munros.  What is a Munro. '7 in a day!' How the urge to bag 7 Munros in a day led to a life-affirming ridge hike and an undrestanding of personal boundaries.  Bagging the Welsh 3000s.  Self development and education in mountian hiking.  Represtation of Black people in mountain hiking and the personal need to explore.  Outdoor brand association - who it works for and who it doesn't.  Tips to keep yourself safe in the hills.  And much more...

It's hitting mid-season in Doddie Aid 2024 so the lads caught up with Doddie Aid and Team Glasgow stalwart, and the man with the voice behind some of Scotland's Euro 2024 qualifying iconic moments, Rory Hamilton. We hear how he's getting on with his miles, a suggestion, nay plea, for difficulty bonus miles to be introduced and thoughts of Doddie Aid 2025 going worldwide...With the six nations coming up we get some thoughts on Scotland's chances there and of course some Euro 2024 chat. Perhaps more specifically John McGinn chat, but same same. Of course the obligatory speed round wraps things up, so be sure to give it a listen and as always, be a friend and tell a friend. Not just about the pod, but particularly please help spread the good word of Doddie Aid and the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. 

"In the winter when the snow is there it's a different world, escaping into the silence. It has a hint of the forbidding too because you feel you're going on true adventures." Andrew Cotter.It's almost two years now since Iain Cameron and Andrew Cotter took producer Miles Warde on a lengthy summer mountain hike. They all agreed they'd love to come back in the winter, in the snow, kitted out and accompanied by at least one of Andrew's famous dogs. Olive stayed at home for this one; but buoyed up by endless biscuits and chicken bits, Mabel made it over four Munros in the ice and snow near Glenshee. It was a grand day out.Andrew Cotter is a sports broadcaster and author of Olive, Mabel and Me. His friend Iain Cameron is a snow patch researcher and author of The Vanishing Ice.The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

This episode is brought to you by: AMERICAN STALLS, makers of premium quality stall components and barn accessories. Do you know how much water your horse drinks each day? Can you be sure they are getting enough? One of the primary causes of equine colic is an insufficiently hydrated digestive system. What if we could monitor exactly how much water our horses drink and ensure they always have fresh water when they need it most? Well, apparently now we can. My guests today are Kelly and Dan Munro, the brilliant duo behind the popular Lighthoof Mud Management Panels. The Munros have a new solution to the old problem of too much time and stress around making sure horses have adequate water. Kelly, Dan, and Helena discuss their new high-tech product, the Cascada Automatic Waterer, and how it's different than any other automatic waterer brought to market thus far. If your horses eat or sleep indoors, this is an episode you won't want to miss, so listen in!

In the Spring of 2023 Jamie Aarons set a new record for a self-propelled round of The Munros, Scotland's 282 mountains over 3,000ft in elevation.  Here she talks about her background, discovering hill-running, the community that helped her complete the challenge and the problems she overcame along the way.Jamie's Just Giving page   Jamie's Website

So this week, we are lucky to be joined by Jamie Aarons, a Californian who moved to Scotland in 2005. Jamie is a trail runner, mountain biker, kayaker and lover of the Right to Roam. She and her partner Andy can often be found in the local hills adventuring with their two dogs, Pirate and Hope. Jamie works as a Social Work Advisor with Scottish Government. In 2023, beginning on the 26th of May, Jamie climbed all 282 Munros whilst cycling, kayaking, running and walking between them.  The route equated to around 1500 kilometres of both running and cycling – 3000 kilometres total – with approximately 140,000 metres of ascent. This is the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest 16 times.   Join us on the trails, and find out just how simple it is for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary levels of health and fitness.   https://www.getoutinit.events/ - Our website; come check us out and sign up for our newsletter!

In this episode we look to the mountains and in particular to the tallest of our mountains - the Munros. Catalogued by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891, we look at the man himself and why his list caused such a stir. Although he never managed to climb them all himself, his legacy lives on in the thousands of “Munro baggers” who have the satisfaction of completing this challenge.

In this episode I sit down with Robin Downie to talk about his inaugural completion of the Martin Moran Round in Torridon. Devised by Robin - himself a local of Lochcarron - he completed the 86km round in August 2022 and named it in memory of mountaineering legend Martin Moran, the local guide who sadly perished in the Indian Himalayas in 2019. Robin had been inspired since his youth by Martin's many achievements, which include the first continuous traverse of the Alpine 4000m peaks (Alps 4000, in 1994) and the first completion of the Munros in a single winter journey (1985), the Cuillin Ridge Traverse record, and many winter climbing first ascents in the North West and elsewhere.  Robin's love for his local hills shines throughout the conversation. He chose to include 9 Munros and 6 Corbetts of Torridon, giving a wild and rough route with almost 9000m of ascent. He set a time of 20h51m47s. Aside from this round he has also completed the Celtman Ironman three times, as well as the Glencoe Skyline and many cycling races.  Robin's Martin Moran Round raised funds for the Martin Moran Foundation, which was set up in Martin's memory to continue the work of passing on mountain skills to young people. They provide mountain skills courses for young people aged 16-18yrs who are passionate about the outdoors but don't otherwise have the support or resources to access mountain adventure. www.martinmoranfoundation.co.uk

Jim Mann has broken several Ultramarathon records whilst also scaling his business Undo, with the goal to remove a billion tonnes of CO2 by 2030. He is one of the most ambitious and yet grounded individuals you will ever meet. To call him understated would be understating his understatedness. As a child, he was a very average runner but his love of challenge and ability to outwork others has led him to break some of the hardest Ultra running records such as the Spine Challenger and the 30 Munros as well as winning the infamous Dragons Back race across Wales. He studied ecology and after running several businesses set his sights on climate. He started with reforestation building the Future Forest Company. He is replacing himself as CEO there to set his sights on the carbon removal company Undo. - - - Sponsored by LinkedIn Jobs Create a free job posting in months on the world's #1 rated recruitment site for small businesses.https://www.linkedin.com/growth Ad airs - 11:30- - -Connect with Jim:Carbon removals - UndoForest regeneration - Future Forest CompanyChat business - Jim's Linked InTweet - Jim's twitter- - -Connect with Sam:Join the social podcast app - PodvineSam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking - - - Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/growth-mindset-podcast.

Here's an episode on a few things I find interesting about the Munros, some of which get us into conversations about broader questions about Scottish clans.  How does DNA evidence connect with their traditional origins?  Why did they choose the sides they did during the Scottish Civil War and the Jacobite Rebellions?

Join Fiona, Neil and Jen for the fourth season of The Outspoken Bible as they talk their way through the gospel of John in pursuit of old truths and fresh insights.  Glover's Off is on Munros (mountains over 3000 feet) and the love of lists, before discussion turns to John 11, a chapter where a chain of immediate events links us into the ultimate smashing of the chains of death, injustice and sin for all. Jen's Gem is about a brilliant examen mug available from YouthScape  This episode was engineered and edited by Aimee Higgins. ------- Show Notes The Outspoken Bible is hosted by Fiona Stewart, Neil Glover and Jen Robertson. Each episode consists of a main section where the three contributors discuss a Bible passage, a 'Glover's Off' section where Neil shares something that is giving him pause for thought in parish ministry, and a 'Jen's Gem' where Jen shares a helpful application or resource for anyone working in youth and family ministry. All opinions are those of the individual contributors and don't necessarily reflect the view of the Scottish Bible Society as an organisation.  ------- John For Everyone Part 2 (Tom Wright) Examug (Youthscape)  ------- Light and Life resources ------- Get in touch here or by emailing outspoken@scottishbiblesociety.org. ------- If you're reading along with us, then next time we'll be talking about John 12. You can order copies of Light and Life from Scottish Bible Society.   

Originally aired - April 05, 2019Today's revisited episode features someone who's balancing the delicate act of being an epic adventurer and a normal family man. Sean Green uses his precious time off work to climb and bike down the Munros of Scotland, a list of 282 mountain peaks that are scattered across the country.Currently, Sean is approaching the halfway point of the project and it has been nothing short of a true adventure thus far. From terrible weather, broken vehicles, and totally decimated itineraries, there's something all of us can learn from Sean, you don't have to be a full-time adventure athlete to do incredible things.We hope you enjoy this down-to-earth conversation and we hope you get out there and plan something yourself.Instagram: @grizzly_munro_diariesFacebook: @Grizzly Munro DiariesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

> Find galleries, blog posts and many more episodes at www.mountainairpodcast.ukEpisode 2#06 welcomes a man that may be the most prolific hillwalker in history. That's because Rob Woodall has spent the past 40 years systematically completing every list of peaks, tops, prominences and trig points in existence. Putting to one side the popular lifetime achievements of the Munros, the Corbetts, the Wainwrights and such; he's summited all 1,556 “Marilyns” (UK peaks with a relative prominence of 150m), touched at least 6,190 trig points, and even stood atop all 2,271 “TuMPs” on the Welsh mainland (a deeply esoteric list of raised ground with Thirty and Upward Metre Prominences). Since recently semi-retiring his ambitions have even turned to the list of global “Ultra” peaks, which are those with a topographic prominence of 1,500m. There are 119 in Europe (not including the Matterhorn or the Eiger whose high cols preclude them), none in Britain (poor Ben Nevis), and so far at least 1,515 have been identified across the world. Nobody has come close to completing this list, and Rob doesn't believe they are “realistically completable by anybody”. But he's still quietly ticking them off.His achievements haven't gone unnoticed, and it's likely that you will have read about him in the outdoor press… but so many questions remain: How has he achieved such incredible hillbagging feats whilst being based in the lowland city of Peterborough? Has his lifelong career in civil engineering given him the map-savvy skills to achieve his goals? How does he endure so much driving? What kit does he wear when he's out in the hills? Is there any moment of his spare time that isn't spent hunting down summits? How do you access a sea stack? Can microspikes keep you from slipping on guano? Is he aware of quite how bonkers the whole thing seems to those outside the hobby?Listen, enjoy, tell your friends, subscribe to the podcast if you get and chance, and thank UKHillwalking.com for their kind support of this series![episode recorded on 18/11/21]Note: as there were a number of months in-between recording and publication, the ever-thorough Rob would like to point out that…The newly created North Northants unitary authority's top is a new hill!

Nicola Hardy worked in IT in South Yorkshire for a decade before diving into freelance life as an adventurer and outdoor writer in 2019. She began by climbing all 282 of Scotland's Munros and - after her plans to hike 3000km in New Zealand were scuppered by Covid - she continued adventuring closer to home.    In 2020 she walked 330km from her birthplace in Sheffield to her new home in Cockermouth, Cumbria, journeying on foot across three national parks; and in 2021 she climbed all 214 Wainwrights in the Lake District over seven long weekends, a quirky book-by-book peak-bagging adventure.   Nic in her own words:   “I'm basically half IT organised spreadsheet nerd and half outdoor adventure loving hiker. I've taken a series of steps over the last 5 years to make my life as outdoorsy and adventurous as possible. I quit my job and sold my house in April 2019 and had 6 months of Scottish hill walking adventure, since then I've dabbled in route writing, gear reviewing, festival speaking, outdoor magazine/website writing whilst spending as much time outdoors around all that as I can.    I also now work a 2-day a week job to keep regular income coming in whilst doing my freelance work and adventuring around that. Flipping the 5-day working week on its head and ensuring my love for the outdoors doesn't become stressful due to the need to focus constantly on monetising it.”   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is being sponsored throughout March by Inov-8 supporting the #MarchDailyMile Challenge.   If you're interested in Inov-8 products send me a DM – I have a special discount code for you!!   Show Notes Who is Nicola Hardy?

Government Street in Victoria, BC was the first actual street West of the Rockies and you get a street that saturated with history.  Throw in an architect who seemed to build ghost trap buildings and Victoria's passion for trapping energy and you have quite the nest of stories! On this episode we're talking about the buildings that now house Munro's Books and Murchie's Tea, some of the history of Government Street and Victoria itself.  We also discuss an bonus story that came across the desk last week and of course the latest at Ian and Jason's house.

Blissful Hiker hikes the Cape Wrath Trail and learns to accept everything that's thrown at her including rain and bog, but also selfish hikers. In this episode:Blissful walks in easy trail paved with stone to lovely Coire Fionnaraich bothy and enjoys  the afternoon out of the rain with a misty view down the glen.Several hikers visit, but she has the night to herself until two loud hikers arrive, loud partiers until well after 2:00 am.Feeling some schadenfreude when the morning is pouring rain and the obnoxious hikers will have no view, she escapes to another section of trail into Glen Douchary. It's rain, bog, big wind and stunning scenery including huge Munros (the highest mountains) and bright red moss at her feet. A challenging day ends with a hot shower and a few drams of whisky.  MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/blissfulhiker)

Blissful Hiker hikes the Cape Wrath Trail in a kind "sampler, platter" managing to fit in a hike to stunning Maol Bhuide.In this episode:Blissful and her companion give the trail one more try in sections and drive from Fort William up to Strathcarron and begin a bog trot in brilliant sunshine to Maol Bhuide (pronounced mee-OWL VOO-tee)They share it with two young men and decide to stay an entire day to explore the remote highlands surrounded by massive Munros.  The day is clear with stunning yellow "spotlights" from the sun, leaving the far off mountains black as rain comes and goes. Returning means one tricky river crossing, but the visit is worth it for the solitude and views. MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/blissfulhiker)

Blissful Hiker begins the Cape Wrath Trail in the Western Highlands of Scotland and learns that it's less hiking and more "bog trotting."In this episode:The Cape Wrath Trail is  unmarked and requires a high degree of navigational skill as well as self-sufficiency, with unbridged river crossings that offer challenge when in spate (flood).They arrange a private ferry ride across Lake Linnhe, then walk easily up Cona Glen next to shaggy Highland cows and ancient Caledonian pines.The first bothy (mountain hut) is closed, and camping is tough in the high wind, where they bend the tent poles.When the heavy rain hits, they dive into a shed to make dinner.It's a steep climb to the bealach (pass) with views towards a 19th century train viaduct in Glenfinnan with a passing steam engine from a view filled with magenta heather and massive Munros (mountains above 3,000 feet.)An easy walk takes them to Corryhully Bothy, shared with a lovely quartet of hikers and one fat mouse.  MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala and Chiquilin de Bachin by Astor Piazzolla as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/blissfulhiker)

Chris and Will talk to Mandy Williams about mental health, running competitively on the track and up the sides of mountains in the masters category, photography, jumping out of aero planes, flying aero planes, and potentially, going into space. Mandy manages our Bridge of Allan store, and was diagnosed with Asperger's at the start of lockdown, having been an outlier at school and labelled for years as high energy. In this interview, Mandy talks about turning the page: striving to fly the flag for other people who think differently.To get in touch, email: thepod@run4it.com.

**TRIGGER WARNING**Before you listen to this powerful episode, I feel I should mention that descriptions of a child being killed in a road traffic accident are mentioned, which some listeners may find upsettingI heard about my guest today when I was in a Facebook group about climbing the Munros (a mountain over 3000 feet high) in Scotland and saw her “team” leaving flags at the summit to remember her daughter, and was so moved by what they were doing and her story Danielle Falconer is 27 and lives in Fife, Scotland. She is currently a primary school teacher at Lumphinnans Primary School and describes it as a wonderful jobShe says she is a Mamma to 3 beautiful babies. Her gorgeous girl Robyn Skye Knox – who will be forever 3 - and her beautiful twin boys - Robin Junior Skye Knox and River Skye Knox – who were on born 4th December 2020.Her daughter Robyn was tragically killed in an accident and Danielle along with her team want to keep her name alive and raise funds for other families that are going through tough times to offer both emotional and practical support Some key points from our interview:·        How she found it so surreal to accept that her daughter had been killed in an accident·        How just three days after Robyn's death, she decided they wanted to help other families·        How she wants to make changes to the memory boxes that parents are given when they leave hospital without their child to include a grief guide·        How helping others keeps Robyn's name alive and is a living legacy to her·        How she recognised that it's so important to sit with and allow whatever feelings come up and not fight them You can get more information about Danielle and the Remembering Robyn pages here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063074418088  https://www.gofundme.com/f/kcsr5d-remembering-robyn?utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer https://www.instagram.com/robynskyeknox/?fbclid=IwAR0DkeEVjmX1fPYqaUqsx2WDIveIWbBSSj74kq2j-KP8REJopsX7256hwm0 *                                     *                                             *                                 *"Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling" features  individuals who have all triumphed after adversity and have not just bounced back in life, but forward and are now making a difference for others.Hosted by Madeleine Black, the show will share stories of all the amazing people Madeleine has met on her own journey as an author/speaker and these stories will heal, motivate, inspire and bring hope when they share their wisdom and knowledge with her.You can find out more about Madeleine, her story and her memoir, Unbroken,  from her website: https://madeleineblack.co.uk/

The Lake District's Kim Collison chats about his 24hr Munro Record set in July this year. Kim is no stranger to long distance running records - he holds records for the Paddy Buckley Round, Winter Bob Graham Round and Lakeland 24-hr Peaks. The 24hr Munro Round is simple on paper: how many different Munros can you tag in 24hrs, starting and finishing at the same point? In practice of course it is a gruelling physical, mental and logistical challenge. Kim's round took in 33 Munros in the Cairngorms/Glenshee region in 23hrs 48mins, over 160km with 9000m of ascent. This bettered the record of 32 Munros set by Sasha Chepelin in 2020.  Record News article: www.fionaoutdoors.co.uk/2021/07/new-record-33-munros-in-24-hours-for-kim-collison.html History of the 24hr Munro Record: www.gofar.org.uk/twenty-four-hour-munro-record Kim's website: kimcollison.co.uk/

Chris and Will speak to Ian Stewart, founder of Trail Running Scotland - a company offering various skills courses between off-road running and mountaineering, as well as a range of guided runs across Scotland.Cue a lively conversation about running a Bob Graham Round for a stag do, staying safe and running smart in the mountains, and Ian's monstrous "Cairngorm Parkrun" completion - a single continuous round of every Munro in the Cairngorms totaling over 400 kilometres in length and achieving over 20,000 metres of vertical gain. This is one to listen to if you're keen to get into mountain and trail running but you're not sure where to start.Less pressingly, the boys discuss Western States, and Chris finally has his answer to last week's "big hitter" question...To get in touch, email: thepod@run4it.com.

What do you do when your sporting career, which has been your life since you were nine years old, comes to an end? For my guest Jamie Neill, the answer was to put on a pair of hiking boots. Jamie was a professional badminton player travelling the world and playing for Scotland in the World Championships. But when his playing career had to stop, he swapped the indoor courts for the outdoors and he hasn't looked back. He's now summited over 200 Munros, climbing 40 of them in just one week; hiked the West Highland Way and summited the three highest peaks in North Africa. He also joined a walking group which led to him meeting his partner Nikki and starting a family. Getting outside has truly helped Jamie's mental and physical transition from a sport that so dominated his life. Jamie and I met 18 months ago on a group walk on Blencathra in the Lake District. He started telling me about his story then, and I've wanted to get him on the podcast ever since!

Merrell is launching a year-long campaign called #StepFurther to encourage people from all walks of life to get outdoors on a micro-adventure to experience the benefits for both their physical and mental health. The post Jamie Neill: How Scotland's Munros saved me when my badminton career ended appeared first on The Outdoors Fix.

On 2nd September 2020 Donnie Campbell completed his human-powered Munro Round in a record time of 31 days, 23 hours and 2 minutes. He completed all 282 Munros by running, biking and kayaking between them, starting on Ben More on Mull and finishing atop Ben Hope in the Far North. This improved on Stephen Pyke's 2010 record of 39 days, 9 hours and 6 minutes which itself knocked a significant chunk off the previous record before it. I talk to Donnie and Stephen (Spyke) about all things Munro Round on a Zoom call for the Fort William Mountain Festival. I found it really interesting to get into the scale of the challenge, logistics, and highs and lows with these two - who both clearly had incredibly memorable experiences on these journeys.

https://linktr.ee/BetweenTheMountains  Read the full blog: https://betweenthemountains.org/2021/03/05/project-282/  One lovely summer, Emily Scott decided to take on an epic adventure: she was going to climb all 282 Munros, continuously. Emily took on the challenge with the image of a 'pure', self-powered journey, in one go of 120 days - the fantastic carbon footprint was just a plus! In this episode we talk about balancing your social life with the outdoors, preparing for adventures, type 2 weather, beautiful Scotland, and the culture shock from almost complete isolation for 4 months straight to the city.

Emily Scott is a multiple Ironwoman triathlete, ski instructor, and adventure athlete who is also a founding member of the British Adventure Collective. In this episode, Emily talks us through her gruelling journey climbing all 282 of the Scottish Munros in one self-supported round trip. The expedition, which took 120 days, involved travelling by bike, foot and kayak, covered a total of 2,605km.Follow Emily's adventures on Instagram: @adventure_scottie / @britishadventurecollective Hosted by: @beckylucykingThinking Off-Piste is brought to you by Mabey Ski, a Whistler-based adventure ski company creating bucket list ski trips across the globe.

In this episode I speak to Roger Wild - my father - about (some of) the history of ski touring in Scotland before moving on to describe our 2010 'Scottish Haute Route'. This 7 day journey from Ben Nevis to Gairnshiel near Ballater was around 155km in length with 10,000m of ascent. We pre-placed food caches, stayed in bothies, and skied on Nordic free-heel skis carrying our overnight gear with us. The route linked up the high ground through Lochaber to the Cairngorms, ascending numerous Munros and Corbetts along the way. Roger is a retired British Mountain Guide and a former Royal Marines Commando. Notes: 1. We talk about grip wax which goes on the ski under your foot on nordic skis to allow grip when that foot is weighted - not to be confused with the wax used to improve glide on downhill skis (and tips/tails of nordic skis) 2. Dr Adam Watson (1930-2019) was 85 when we met him near Banchory in 2016 3. For some reason I said I was a student in Aberdeen in 2010 - I'm not that young and was in fact a junior doctor then 4. We mention skimo race skis a lot but don't acknowledge that of course modern standard touring setups have gotten way lighter too - most people seem to like something in the ‘light standard‘ range rather than full race skis - which are harder to ski in some conditions, less stable, more expensive and less durable. For long journeys obviously low weight is key.

Ne najpomembnejša, vsekakor pa zanimiva dejstva za zvedave poslušalce, ki morajo izmed petih trditev izbrati napačnoIzmed spodnjih trditev izberi napačno. 1. V Avstraliji so dolga leta pohodniki hodili na najvišji vrh Mount Kosciuszko (Kasiasko); dokler niso ugotovili, da je sosednja gora nekoliko višja. Zmedo z imeni so rešili tako, da so lokalne oblasti preprosto zamenjale imeni obeh gora. Trditev je resnična 2. Mount Elbert in Mount Massive sta najvišja vrhova gorate zvezne države Kolorado v ZDA. Ker je uradna razlika med njima le 17 metrov, so navijači drugega nanj postavili 20 metrov visok razgledni stolp, s čimer zdaj nižja gora, Mount Massive velja za najvišjo točko Kolorada. Trditev je izmišljena 3. Pilatus je ime gore nad Lucernom. Ime naj bi dobila po Ponciju Pilatu, ki naj bi bil po eni od različic pokopan prav pod švicarsko goro. Trditev je resnična 4. Micromort je enota za tveganje v razmerju 1 proti milijon. Pretečen maraton je 7 micromortov, skok s padalom 10, vzpon na Mount Everest pa kar 40 tisoč micromortov. Trditev je resnična 5. Hribom nad 1000 metrov (nadmorske višine) na Škotskem uradno pravijo Munros. Pravi Munro pa mora imeti poleg nadmorske višine vsaj še 150 metrov višinske razlike od vznožja do vrha. Temu pravijo Marilyn. Pravi Munro je torej na Škotskem le Marilyn Munro. Trditev je resnična

Today on the show, I'm very excited to have blogger, adventurer and Shetlander Bee Leask who you may know from her Instagram @bumblebambi join me. Bee grew up in Shetland and now lives in Scotland, but Shetland is very much a part of how she identifies and it has shaped her life in so many ways which we discuss in this episode. I started following her a few years ago and was so inspired by her adventures in the highlands and Islands where she is busy ticking off all Scotland's inhabited islands and 282 Munros. In the show we speak about community, belonging, overcoming challenges and we talk a lot about hiking in Scotland and the beauty of our island communities. --- Shownotes https://www.bumblebambi.com/ Instagram @bumblebambi Walk Highlands website for walking in Scotland and Shetland I Am An Island, a book by Tamsin Calidas about living in the Hebrides which we talk about in the show.

Will has cycled between all 282 Munros and climbed them, solo-circumnavigated the Scottish coastline by sea kayak, completed the Coldest Corbett Challenge, and regularly completes  expeditions in Patagonia. Will's first adventure, though, starts at 12 years old. After a fantastic outdoor upbringing in North West Scotland, during the peak of Ray Mears' influence, Will was 'cast-away' by his parents with a few friends overnight. From there, Will has gone on to complete expeditions in Patagonia, Scotland, Iceland, across Europe, and New Zealand. Before We Start Before we get into the episode, I want to mention the sponsor for this episode: Sidetracked Magazine.

Episode 75 is an interview with Donnie Campbell.  Donnie, of Inverness Scotland, is an ex Royal Marine Commando with a background in a wide range of sports from Mountaineering and Kayaking to Football and Shinty. Shinty is unique to Scotland and one of the oldest games in the world. The game is similar to games such as hockey and lacrosse in some aspects and has historical roots with golf and ice hockey. As with lacrosse the game is a fast moving aerial game where physical fitness is tested to the limits. However, different from both hockey and lacrosse as in Shinty, feet can be used to stop the ball but not the hands (unless you are the goal-keeper). You can carry the ball on your caman (which is the stick used in the game) which can be also be swung above shoulder height.....a skilful eye and a sense of survival are paramount!! However, Donnie’s greatest passion now is running which he has gone on to excel in. Donnie has set an astonishing new Munros record to finish all 282 mountains over 3000ft (914.4m) in Scotland in 31 days, 23 hours and two minutes. Munros are all the mountains over 3000ft (914.4m). He ran and “power-hiked” a total of 1422km and cycled and kayaked in between. Can I ask you a favour; would you be able to go on over to Apple podcasts to rate, review and subscribe to the podcast?

Zahrah Mahmood is a Scottish Pakistani Muslim woman who was born and brought up in Glasgow. She works as a Chartered Accountant Monday-Friday, but in the evenings and on weekends she heads to the mountains to embrace her passion for hillwalking. She documents these adventures on her Instagram page where she is known as “The Hillwalking Hijabi” where she hopes that by sharing her experiences outdoors, she can encourage and motivate anyone and everyone, but especially women like her, to get outside and enjoy the outdoors too. Alongside the beautiful mountain images that she posts, Zahrah is also know for speaking out about injustice where she sees it, particularly when it comes to her own and others experiences around race and religion. It is her honesty and transparency around these subjects, as well as around the psychological challenges and benefits of being in the outdoors that have inspired so many others too. In this conversation, we talk about what motivated Zahrah to take up hillwalking, some of the challenges she has faced and the benefits she personally has experienced from her adventures outdoors as well. You can find out more about Zahrah on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_hillwalking_hijabi/?hl=enAnd for more information about the relationship between awe and the outdoors visit: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00509/fullhttps://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-3-Day-Effect-Audiobook/B07HNBRR1BTo contact Nicki about The Everyday Adventure Podcast, coaching or "Resilience & Adventure" Workshops: Email: nicki@resiliencework.co.ukhttps://www.resiliencework.co.ukInstagram: @resilienceatworkFacebook: The Everyday Adventure Club

Today's edition of The Aid Station takes a distinctly off-road route as we head to Paisley just outside of Glasgow, Scotland to meet John Kynaston, host of the Run to the Hills podcast. A wonderful story of a man with strong Christian roots whose journey includes working in Bangladesh and India during which time his four daughters, including twins, were born. John's return to the UK saw him work as a pastor and 10 years ago joining Glasgow City Council as an Active Schools Co-ordinator. Another example of the wonderful impact of sport and activity on the lives of kids with some of the stories of transformation during COVID-19. Watch the screen light up as John shares his passion for trail running which lead him to writing a blog and more recently taking over the Run to the Hills podcast. Listen to his insights into the impact of the Pandemic on the trail running calendar in the UK and an interesting case study on the often asked question of "to rest or not to rest in between races" When it comes to inspiration, hear the amazing story of Donnie Campbell who ran for 32 days to beat a 10 year old record of running up all of the 282 Munros (mountains over 3,000ft) by 7days. https://youtu.be/H__oQubRbZw Listen to my chat with John here https://youtu.be/UzmxzAqWooY #theaidstation

On weds 2nd September at around 5am, adventurer, ultra-runner and coach Donnie Campbell finished a record attempt that had taken him 31days and 23hrs to complete. He had summited all 282 Munros (Scottish mountains over 3000ft in height), completing the entire journey under his own power.  He covered almost 900 miles on foot and the same on a bike whilst enduring enough ascent to climb Everest 14 times.  In doing so, he beat the previous record by over a week! In this episode we chat about his epic journey from forming the idea, through planning the monster logistics, to tackling a serious contender for the most epic record of this summer of FKTs.

Kevin Woods is no stranger to the hills and mountains. He’s fresh back from covering all 282 Munros in just 97 days, straight through the Scottish winter and as the Covid crisis spread like wildfire across the world. This was his fourth round of Munros, and he’s not yet 30. (If you’re not from these parts, Munros are mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet high, some situated in deeply remote terrain). Kevin is a winter mountain leader and a true man of the mountains. He’s also a talented filmmaker and musician, and guides folk around mountain routes across Scotland when he’s not pursuing his own hardy ambitions in the hills. He’s an all-round open guy, his climbing led by a true and authentic love of these mountain environments rather than an ego-led pursuit of records. When we spoke, he was already planning his return to the hills after lockdown, just a few months after completing his fourth round. We got into a deep dive on what his intense three months in the mountains was like – the suffering, the joys, the solitude and the daily stresses and questioning as Covid hit. Kevin also gives his insight into the planning and logistics of a non-stop winter round; the brutality of the north west highland storms he fought through; the days he feared might be dealbreakers; his start in mountain leading; and his attitude to risk-taking and safety. Watch this space for the film Kevin is producing about his winter adventure!

In the world of ultra distance hiking Chris Townsend is outstanding.  20+ books to his credit, the gear editor of Great Outdoors magazine, and the first person to complete a round of the Munros and tops (not as said in introduction) in a continuous journey entirely on foot.In this podcast, Chris shares advice for hikers tackling the 2021 TGO Challenge, a backpacking event across Scotland that has been cancelled for 2020 due to COVID19. Mainly we talk about two amazing ultra-distance walks on the Arizona Trail and the Pacific Northwest Trail.Chris' websiteTwitter @townsendoutdoorIf you enjoy this podcast, please support the hosting costs by buying me a virtual coffee at www.ko-fi.com/sunartmediaCheck out our YouTube channel 

Kevin Woods is only third person to have completed a winter round of Scotland's Munros, mountains over 300pft high.  That's 282 mountains in 97 days in the long, soaking wet, depths of a Scottish winter.Living in his van, with only a few friends for support, Kevin had to support himself.  As if walking 1400 miles wasn't enough, he had to shop, cook, dry kit, plan routes and check weather himself, then drive to the ranges which looked most promising.  He only just finished as the Coronavirus lockdown came into force.Kevin's Instagram   YouTube Channel   WebsiteIf you enjoy this podcast, please support the hosting costs by buying me a virtual coffee at www.ko-fi.com/sunartmediaCheck out our YouTube channel 

Another episode recorded at the Isle of Skye Festival of Small Halls in November 2019. Su-a Lee is a classically trained cellist and a member of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, but she loves breaking down musical barriers. With the group Mr McFall’s Chamber she’s played contemporary classical music in night clubs and she regularly collaborates with Scotland’s leading folk players, as she did at the Festival.  She is also a keen walker and bagger of Munros. Sitting on a rock by the river at Sligachan, she tells Matthew Bannister the poignant story of climbing Ben Nevis with her cello on her back to pay musical tribute to her late husband shortly after he died. Then she unveils her secret weapon...

Schottland, 1534: Nach seiner Rückkehr in die schottischen Highlands macht sich Ramsay MacGowan sofort auf, um dem verfeindeten Munro Clan die Stirn zu bieten. Dass dieser in seine Familiengeschäfte eingreift, kann er sich schließlich nicht gefallen lassen. Doch statt den Munros findet er ein mysteriöses junges Mädchen vor. Auf der Flucht vor einem unbekannten Angreifer weiß die junge Anora Fraser nicht, wem sie trauen kann. Als sie den charmanten Ramsay trifft, entspinnt sie daher eine Geschichte, die den jungen Schotten dazu bringt, ihr Schutz anzubieten. Und obwohl Ramsay die Lüge sofort durchschaut, kann er der faszinierenden Anora nicht widerstehen …

Emily Scott feels her happiest in the mountains. So over the last few years she's made big changes to her life to enjoy them nearly everyday. Emily used to be a full-time chartered accountant in London but she's now a ski instructor in the winter and in the past few summers she's worked for travel companies hosting treks in the Alps. In between these seasons she takes on extraordinary endurance adventures and in 2018 she climbed all 282 Munros in Scotland in under 4 months. The post Emily Scott: Leaving full-time accountancy for a life in the mountains appeared first on The Outdoors Fix.

A couple from the United Kingdom is growing trees into furniture that does not need any carpentry. Gavin /ˈgæv ɪn/ and Alice Munro from Derbyshire /ˈdɜr biˌʃɪər/, England, are training trees to take the shape of furniture pieces. The Munros make their furniture by growing young tree branches over specially made frames. Currently, they have frames for chairs, tables, and lamps. Once the branches grow into the shape, they are nurtured until they mature. Then, the resulting piece of furniture is harvested and dried. The whole process usually takes four to nine years on average, depending on the type of furniture. Because of the complex process, the couple's creations are sold from around $1,120 to $15,600. Gavin's childhood experiences inspired him to create furniture this way. The concept of furniture that does not need to be built first came to him when he saw a bonsai tree that looked like a chair. On the other hand, the idea of shaping tree branches with special frames was inspired by his experience growing up with a curved spine. He had to wear a metal frame to help straighten his back, similar to how he shapes tree branches with frames. He first started experimenting with the idea in 2006. Then, six years later, Gavin founded the company Full Grown with his wife, seeing it as a solution to the non-eco-friendly process of cutting down trees and manufacturing them to create furniture. The couple's long-term goal is to buy a farm where they can hold experiments. They also want to start a consultancy service and share their knowledge of creating unique furniture.

A California native living in the west of Scotland, Jamie has a string of adventures and running achievements behind her, and a few more in the pipeline this year. In 2015, she won the 95-mile West Highland Way and last year she set a course record on the 55-mile Cateran Trail. In 2013, she hiked, skied or snowshoed all 282 of Scotland’s Munros in a single year. She has tackled some monster endurance races and last year developed a rare condition called rhabdomyalysis during a multi-day event, which brought her close to kidney failure and landed her in an Italian hospital for a week. She is inspiring for sure, but it’s not all about races and results for her, her love for the outdoors shines through in everything she does and she has a refreshing approach to training and competing. In this episode we talk about what it took for Jamie and her partner Andy Taylor to successfully achieve climbing the Munros in a year whilst holding down full time jobs; the struggle involved in taking on such a demanding project as a couple; and the raw realities of her date with rhabdo. Andy joins us too, to give his perspective on the year of Munros.

The Apollo 11 mission prevails. “Yeah, it's like that,” for the both of them.  Inside the Chapters: Chapter 3 - The Minister's Cat - Boston, June 1969 Roger calls Brianna from Scotland and gets the time difference wrong. She is dead asleep and wakes with a humorous start. They haven't seen each other in some time, and Roger is nervous and unsure of her because she hasn't answered his letter. There's a conference he can attend the following month, and does she want to see him? He nervously talks, worrying she'll reject him. They speak over each other. Of course, she wants to see him. He laughs as their words collide once more. He understands her now, warming her through. She acknowledges he's the only other person who can understand her. She'd been dreaming about Jamie when he called her. She was trying to catch up to him while they hiked in the mountains. She'd used to do that with Frank. Roger brings up bagging Munros* in Scotland and explains the hobby of hiking mountains over 3000 feet. His laugh brings the memory of his parting kiss last upon her lips. Roger and Brianna like to play games with each other. She guessed he was in Inverness, Scotland and not in England because his accent was thicker when there. He playfully rolled his r's for her (DOA, p66, Nook). She wished he was there now. Bree admitting wanting him catches Roger off guard. She tries to explain why she didn't write, but he says there'll be time to discuss it when he's there in a month. He's happy she said he could visit. She's happy remembering her hand upon his chest.  Now sleepless, she goes to the kitchen for a glass of milk. While peering into the refrigerator, the contents become the standing stones in her mind's eye. She shivers. She knows why she didn't write, yet she has no idea how to explain it to Roger. He was part of the devastation and loss of learning about Jamie Fraser and her mother leaving. Though her mother wasn't dead, there was nothing to do but grieve the loss. She was utterly lonely without her mother. Brianna's Catholic upbringing shows as she hears an ambulance and crosses herself. She says a small prayer for those who need it. She also prays daily for her mother and father. Even though Uncle Joe Abernathy knew everything that happened, only Roger could hear the stones too. The experience had marked them after Claire had gone. She needed to heal and rebuild her life, away from Scotland and stone circles. When Roger was present, she couldn't forget any of it, not even for a moment. Had he cared and protected her only because her mother had asked him too? She doesn't want a future based on crushing obligation. Was she presumptuous he wanted a future with her? She thinks if she left and came back again to him, they could do it right at their choosing. If they were to take the relationship further, it would need to be their choice. Bree sits down to her mathematics work, soothing and controlled (DOA, p.69, Nook). Like in Voyager we see the image of a spider weaving. Above all, she was glad she'd said yes to his visit. The following month she's at the airport with her friend Gayle to pick Roger up. Gayle sounds vapid and unworldly, but able to fill conversational spaces. She thinks England and Scotland are the same. Brianna clears up the misconception of England versus the United Kingdom and Scotland. Nosy Gayle wants to know if Bree and Roger have had sex yet. Bree is aghast at the question but tells her no. At this moment, Roger appears. Gayle is impressed by him, while Bree stiffens at the sight (DOA, p70, Nook). He does sound a bit like a pirate, doesn't he? Bree's body reacts at the sight of him; perhaps it wasn't a good idea to have him come after all. He sees her and lights the room; she runs to him without thinking. He meets her halfway, nearly picking her up from the ground and squeezing her hard. Can you hear the music playing in the background? I do. It's funny how Brianna thinks she hasn't already chosen him. He kisses her. She doesn't want his whisky flavored lips to stop. Breathlessly, they stop. Gayle breaks into the reunion scene (DOA, p.71, Nook). Gayle fauns over Roger's accent. Brianna finally remembers to introduce her friend. Roger plays along rolling his r's in a most undignified fashion. Bree is not amused. He explains that in addition to the conference; he's playing at a Scottish Festival to earn money while he's in town (DOA, p.71, Nook). He sometimes does Scottish folk singing at ceilidhs* and highland games*. Funny that Gayle knows about kilts, but is unaware Scotland is a separate country. Bree is once again not amused. Gayle remarks about the big box, it's Roger's bodhran*, a Scottish drum. She also offers to drive Roger to the festival, which Bree quashes. Gayle again presses her about them having sex and thinks Bree is crazy if she doesn't. It's 1969. I think young adults have always been the same, no matter what outward social mores would say. As Brianna drives Roger to the Scottish Festival, they play The Minister's Cat*. Roger says it's a Scottish game, but it's a Victorian parlor game. They play for a while (DOA, p.73, Nook). These two are a brainy and vocabulary laden duo. They reach the turn for the festival; Roger is apologetic at how far it is from Boston. Brianna says it isn't far. She scoffs at the 150-mile drive (DOA, p.73, Nook). The conversation takes a turn while using The Minister's Cat as a conversational pathway. She becomes aloof and thoughtful. Roger decides tea is the answer, but Bree hates tea. She's no English woman indeed. Roger reflects upon Brianna. She looks like her heritage but seems MORE.  She begins to explain what she's thinking. Roger is thinking of all the ways he likes her. She tells him how great he was after her mother left and wanted to know if he's been back to Craigh na Dun. He hasn't been back. Is he scared of it (DOA, p.75, Nook)? She points out how much he helped regardless of being scared. She tells him though she's not spoken of her parents in half a year, she can't be around him without talking about her parents immediately. She blushes (like Jamie) when she talks to him. She also says, she had a crush on him and didn't know he was just nice to her for her mother. He assures her he wasn't just nice. She wasn't sure what to do (DOA, p.75, Nook). He kisses her after asking permission. Always a gentleman. He's a combo of Frank and Jamie. After parking, Roger suddenly realizes where he brought her and is horrified. A Scottish festival with all the trappings would remind her of Jamie. Chapter 4 – A Blast from the Past Roger finds the dressing area to be luxurious in comparison to what he's used to in Scotland. This leads him to husband thinking. Would he be financially able to equal the level of comfort Brianna is used to? She is driving a brand-new Mustang. In 1969, that vehicle MSRP was from $2740-4798 for the various models. The average American made $5900 in 1969. It was a pricey car. He is not stupid for wondering what income level she expected. He also had an envelope for her. He's hesitant to give it to her based on their earlier conversation and her reaction to seeing the 78th Fraser Highlanders'* pipe-band in the flesh, made him worry about her. Incidentally, the 78th Fraser Highlanders' pipe-band did not come into existence until 1982. Diana's timey-wimey writing! The Fraser motto* is Je suis prest! (I am ready!). He's worried about her as he's getting ready for two performances and mulling over what he'll do based on the audience. He's donning his kilt while she is off entertaining herself. He decides to go full Scots in his kilt and eschews the underwear (DOA, p.78, Nook). On his way out, he asked for luck from his father. The appearance of him made Brianna sit up and take notice. Her mother was right about a man in a kilt. It makes them sexy indeed. She asks him if he's hungry and goes over the available food options (DOA, p.79, Nook). He's sorry for bringing her since it's been such a shock, but she's okay with it. She thinks the festival is so Scottish. Roger decides it is, “the Scots' age-old talent for survival-the ability to adapt to anything and make a profit from it.” He hugs her, noticing she smells like fresh grass. Claire smells like herbs and green things when Jamie hugs her. He points out she's Scots too, but she doesn't want to eat haggis*. Roger thinks the food vendors are quite unusual. Apparently, the festival changes and the vendors stay the same. The vendor asks about his kilt to a bland-faced response (DOA, p.80, Nook). Brianna gives her version of an over the top Scottish accent. They look around at all the merchandise. Brianna asks why he's using MacKenzie*. He explains Wakefield is his adopted father's name; his family name is MacKenzie. Roger Jeremiah MacKenzie is his given name. Jerry was his father. His nickname was Jemmy when he was young. He explains why Jeremiah was the best family name to choose from (DOA, p.81, Nook). Their conversation veers to Claire explaining sex in Brianna's health courses in school. Yes, one can get pregnant the first time or while having sex only once. She explains to Roger the word health is a euphemism for sex in America. Roger is thankful his sporran is holding down the kilt fort with this frank conversation. She backwardly asks if he's had sex and a steady girlfriend (DOA, p.83, Nook). She's no steady boyfriend. He kisses her fingers. Roger don't be a too shy man. It was time for him to perform, he hands her the envelope. His voice is lovely, to her and the crowd. He's very good. He sings a variety of songs from the always popular choices to those of war. The song about Prestonpans, ”Hey Johnnie Cope"* struck Bree as she realizes her mother and Jamie were both at that battle. She had an epiphany about herself and Roger (DOA, p.85, Nook). Roger shifted from the music of the '45 with a piece from 1715 rising*. Brianna took this as her opportunity to open the envelope. It's pictures of Claire and Frank happily married. It's their wedding day. Roger is singing another Jacobite piece as she discovers the details of these wedding photos. Roger's set ends with “The Bonnie Banks o'Loch Lomond*,” Brianna is overtaken with emotion looking at her mother so sure and happy on her wedding day to Frank.  This is one of the issues she has loving Roger. What if she changes her mind? What if she finds someone else like her mother did? A bit later without discussing her departure from his performance, he needs to leave her for a bit during the calling of the clans*. This is where all the clans present are called and accounted for. They wandered the festival spending the afternoon together. Pay attention to the description of the people and families at this festival for the later gathering in the book. As the Clans were called during the torchlight ceremony, Brianna pondered the existence of clans today (DOA, p.89, Nook). Chapter 5 – Two Hundred Years from Yesterday Snapped back into reality, it's Roger's final day in Boston. The moon landing is anticipated as several people gather at Joe Abernathy's house. Uncle Joe is frustrated over the TV not working, so he asks Bree to figure it out after she introduces, the boyfriend, Roger to him. Joe and Roger have a chat over some Lagavulin* whisky Claire gifted him with before she left. Joe jumps right in since Claire and Frank are both gone. He wants to know what Roger's intentions are (DOA, p.92, Nook). Thankfully the television interrupts for a moment before Joe dives in for more (DOA, p.93, Nook). Ultimately he sees Roger is in love with Brianna, that it isn't a fling to him. “It's like that.” They all anxiously await the Apollo 11* landing. Bree is pressed against Roger. In the safety of people, they can have close contact. Roger thinks of the drive back from the festival, their conversation, the long drive back with Roger at the wheel, and unable to figure the way back to her apartment, took her to his hotel room, where he inhabited the floor. When dawn broke, he sat in the chair wrapped in her sweater, the scent about him. He simply watched her sleep. “Yeah, it was like that.” Apollo 11 landed, the rest of the room gripped by the television. “It was a fine day to be an American.” Roger felt it was two hundred years from where they were yesterday at the festival (DOA, p.95, Nook).

Fred Belton, KM4MXD Fred Belton is a retired university mathematics instructor and former electrical engineer. He has traveled in more than 100 countries and territories and done extensive trekking in many of them. He has made two 3 year "world exploration" trips. He is particularly interested in volcanoes, has climbed around 50 active volcanoes worldwide, and has spent much time exploring volcanic terrain. In 1997 he became focused on Ol Doinyo Lengai in Tanzania, the only volcano that erupts natrocarbonatite lava. In 1999 he assisted a German film team with a television documentary there. From 2000 until the commencement of explosive activity in 2007 Fred organized and led Ol Doinyo Lengai expeditions for scientists, photographers and film teams. Expedition members spent a week at the crater while it was erupting and were able to observe the activity at night, an experience shared by very few people. In conjunction with the expeditions, Fred collected lava samples and worked with a geology graduate student on data collection and research to investigate the possibility of tidal influences on magmatic activity.

Edition 5 of the Walks Around Britain podcast features the team of Sixth Formers attempt to bag some Munros and we find out about a new map about the Munros - and it's older Lake District cousin. Richard Vobes - the Bald Explorer - takes us along the Dorset Coastal Path #GreatOutdoors #LakeDistrict #maps #Munro #RichardVobes #treks #walking #walks #LVSAscot #TubularFells #MunrOverground

Shirley wakes to talk about her plans for the day, which seems to involve food more than Munros! However she start from Ryvoan Bothy via Bynack More and finally arrives at the Hutchinson Memorial Hut. Here she meets Caburn Chamberlain and begins to interrogate him about his trip so far and, once again, food! Caburn doesn't do dehydrated food, and the contents of his rucksack always leaves people salivating and watching in awe as delightful things appear at meal times! Then she starts to think about Braemar and her route into town which involves visiting all the cafes on the way to the Fife Arms and eating each menu speciality in the process. Andy wakes up at the fantastic Braemar Campsite and chats with first timer John Garner who has been slightly ahead of most walkers, but enjoying his trip all the same. He also has chance to have an in depth chat with Henry Shires from the US, about his trip and the range of lightweight shelters which he designs. In the Fife Arms Andy chats to first timer Louise Ward and someone who really was serious about coming to Scotland, Michael Firkins all the way from Australia. Finally Paul Mason discusses the magical repairing abilities of his new lightweight accessory, Gaffer Tape!

Today’s Life Outside the Box episode features someone who’s balancing the delicate act of being an epic adventurer and a normal family man. Sean Green uses his precious time off work to climb and bike down the Munros of Scotland, a list of 282 mountain peaks that are scattered across the country. Currently, Sean is approaching the halfway point of the project and it has been nothing short of a true adventure thus far. From terrible weather, broken vehicles, and totally decimated itineraries, there’s something all of us can learn from Sean, you don’t have to be a fulltime adventure athlete to do incredible things. We hope you enjoy this down to earth conversation and we hope you get out there and plan something yourself.
