In March 2020, a seemingly routine walk turned into a fight for survival when Laurence Penn, a West Sussex businessman became one of the UK's first COVID-19 patients. Rushed to Worthing Hospital, he was placed in an induced coma in Bed Number One—and didn't wake up for 29 days. When he finally regained consciousness, he faced a devastating reality: he'd lost 25 kilograms of muscle mass, couldn't walk unaided, had developed a drop foot and speech impediment, and was told recovery would take 18 months. But rather than accept this prognosis, he chose a different path—one built on discipline, breaking down impossible goals into small wins, and celebrating every milestone, no matter how minor. This episode explores an extraordinary journey of resilience and mental toughness, from learning to stand five times in a row to cycling 106 miles along the South Downs Way exactly one year after being put into a coma. Discover how daily discipline, controlling what you can control, and seeking perspective from others can transform adversity into strength. Whether you're facing business challenges, health struggles, or personal setbacks, this conversation offers practical wisdom on building resilience, maintaining focus, and finding purpose in the darkest moments. The conversation also touches on how this life-changing experience reshaped his approach to business, leading him to create a leaner, more intentional way of working that prioritises what truly matters.   Connect with Laurence: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurencepenn/ Website:  https://www.bednumberone.com/     ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2   ##########

A recap of the 2025 SDW50 with RD James Elson covering off the race from the front to the back and everyone in between.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Curtis Himstedt, known on trail as Easily Forgotten. Easily Forgotten's backpacking resume is bananas. A partial list of his adventures includes the Annapurna Circuit, Pembrokeshire Coastal Path in Wales, the GR10, Tour du Mont Blanc, Yorkshire Dales High Way, South Downs Way, and Cotswold Way in England, the Triple Crown in the U.S., the Tahoe Rim Trail, and a continuous yo-yo of the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail between 2023-2024. Curtis takes us through these treks, especially the ones we haven't covered on the podcast before, shares how his first divorce inspired him to get into thru-hiking, explains why he feels more like himself on trail than in “the real world,” and gives us a preview of his upcoming adventures as he continues trekking strong into his 60s.  We wrap the show with news of a major gear retailer accused of ties to forced labor, a new navigation app you'll want on your radar for 2025, the triple crown of the worst fashion trends, a debate on how to inform someone of their LNT violation, what we'd replace our hands with if given the choice, and much more.

Joining me as my guests for this episode are Elin Heron and Callum James. Elin is returning to Some Other Sphere, having first been interviewed by me in the very early days of the podcast. She is a writer and musician, a talented tarot reader and a speaker of Welsh. Callum is a poet, artist, bookseller and magical practitioner. Both have long been close friends and 2024 saw them each publish new works - Jude by Elin, which is her debut novel and The South Downs: Paths of the Dead by Callum, which details his experience of completing the South Downs Way, an ancient walking route in Southern England. In Jude, Fifteen-year-old Nick has just finished his GSCEs and is stuck at home in the seaside village of Brexenham. What starts as a boring summer quickly transforms, as he meets Jude Fletcher, a wild and otherworldly boy. Nick is pulled into another world, but the disappearance of local girl, Jemma Cox, hangs over the community, and is something that runs farther back than anybody realises. The South Downs is partly a grimoire of the walk Callum undertook, partly a linear topography, and partly a treatise on necromancy. It recognises the folklore, spirits, and the magic of a place and Callum writes as one who does this magic, speaks to these spirits, and follows this lore. In the interview I talk with Elin and Callum about their writing and their friendship, how the ideas for their recent publications came about and how their approach to writing them developed. This leads into a wide-ranging discussion, covering themes such as the role of the imagination and imaginal thinking in otherworldly encounters, the connections between the dead and the landscape, and the nature of otherworldly entities such as The Green Man, a character who features prominently in Jude. I also get to share a couple of my own unusual experiences with them as part of our conversation. Further information about Elin can be found at her website https://www.elinheron.co.uk/ and you can order a copy of Jude from her publisher, Lucent Dreaming. Callum's website is https://www.mercurysbrother.com/ and you can order a copy of The South Downs: Paths of the Dead from Broken Sleep Books.  If you would like to support the upkeep of Some Other Sphere you can make a donation via Ko-fi.

In this Bucket List episode, host Aaron Millar recounts the most audacious, tipsiest, and ridiculous hike of his life: a 100-mile pub crawl across the entire length of the South Downs National Park, near his hometown of Brighton England. “Should you ever happen to find yourself walking with only one boot on in the middle of the night,” Aaron writes, “the one thing you don't want to read when you open the guidebook is – ‘the path climbs gently through a field of stingy nettles and large piles of cow dung.' Nonetheless, having undertaken the challenge of walking the entire 100-mile length of the South Downs Way, from Eastbourne to Winchester, this was precisely where I found myself on only my second day on the trail.”The South Downs Way has been walked by traders, drovers, and pilgrims for hundreds of years. Because of that a network of old Coaching Inns has sprung up along the trail where weary travelers could rest for the night, grab some dinner and pint of ale. Centuries later many are still standing, and it's possible to walk the entire trail stopping at them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a few drinks in between.100-miles – shoeless or not – is a long way, but it's worth every inch of the effort because this part of the world is overflowing with gentle landscapes, ancient history, and warm welcoming people. Not to mention a good pint or two.DO THIS PUB CRAWL YOURSELF!You can find out more information about the South Downs Way, and South Downs National Park at www.southdowns.gov.ukIt's possible to work out the route of the pub crawl yourself, or drop Aaron a line for the insider tips: info@armchair-explorer.comCONNECT WITH USIf you enjoy the show, please subscribe on whatever podcast player you're reading this on right now.

On this episode of the show we welcome Centurion Running founder and Race Director James Elson to have a chat with us about his races. Anyone in the area who has or will be running ultra distance events in the future, will no doubt end up at one of James' races. They have provided thousands of runners with a fantastic platform to learn how to participate in this sport, along with many opportunities to take part at distances from 50k to 200 miles. In this chat we get to discuss ultra running in the UK in close relation to our very own beautiful trails on the South Downs Way. And particularly with regards to the South Downs Way 100 which is one of Centurions flagship races. Thanks to James for coming onto the show and taking the time to speak with us. And as always, Daniel and Dave introduce the show with a twenty minute warm up, full of juicy bits. Happy running everyone x

  35 years ago, Andy Brown paid his way through college by carrying out street interviews for advertising agencies. This taught him not to be shy and got him hooked on advertising. Fast forward, and Andy now has over 30 years of experience as an award-winning adviser and coach for people-based businesses, helping them to grow sustainably and increase their value. He's done this by enabling founders and leaders to ‘make better decisions, more quickly', as one client put it.   He's also the author of ‘The Emotional Overdraft: 10 simple changes for balancing business success and wellbeing' a book that shot straight to Amazon's #1 bestseller spot when it launched earlier in 2024. It also received Amazon's ‘Most Gifted' badge. The book is written for entrepreneurs, leaders, and founders and articulates the often-overlooked mental and physical costs of leadership. Its mission? To eliminate the damage inflicted on individuals, businesses, and communities from the avoidable burden of emotional overdraft.  Outside work, Andy is most likely to be found inside the American Express Stadium, cheering on long-time love, Brighton & Hove Albion, or else rambling the rolling hill of the South Downs Way near his home in Dorset.   The Emotional Overdraft is available on Amazon and more information can be found at www.emotionaloverdraft.com. Andy Brown can be found on Linkedin and Instagram @andybrownauthor   In today's fast-paced and demanding world, finding a balance between professional success and personal well-being can often be elusive. However, in a series of insightful podcast episodes, Brett Gilliland and guest Andy Brown shed light on the importance of maintaining this delicate equilibrium. Andy emphasizes the concept of emotional overdraft, where constantly pushing ourselves without taking time to recharge can lead to burnout. He shares personal anecdotes and valuable insights on habits, decision-making, and the significance of self-care. One key takeaway from the discussions is the need for resilience to prevent burnout. Andy highlights the importance of recognizing when we are emotionally depleted and taking proactive steps to recharge. This could involve engaging in activities that bring us joy, spending quality time with loved ones, or simply taking a break from work. By prioritizing self-care and making time for rejuvenation, entrepreneurs can ensure they have the mental and emotional energy needed to sustain their professional success in the long run. Another crucial aspect discussed is the power of habits and mindset shifts. Andy emphasizes the impact of small, consistent changes in our daily routines that can significantly improve our overall well-being. By consciously choosing positive habits and adopting a growth mindset, entrepreneurs can cultivate a culture of learning and growth within their teams. This not only enhances individual and business performance but also creates an environment where everyone feels supported and motivated to achieve their full potential. In this episode featuring Brett Gilliland and Andy Brown, expect to hear valuable insights into the importance of maintaining a balance between professional success and personal well-being. By understanding the concept of emotional overdraft, practicing resilience, and prioritizing self-care, entrepreneurs can prevent burnout and sustain their success in the long term. Additionally, by focusing on habits, mindset shifts, and strategic hiring decisions, individuals and businesses can foster a culture of growth and learning, leading to increased performance and fulfillment.

Joy is...When You Can't See It.After an early career characterised by hours at a computer, Charlie Harpur turned his back on desk work and embraced the physical elements of gardening. When not working as a Landscape Designer and Gardener, he is an impressive trail and ultra-runner who, in 2019, became the British 100km champion. His other achievements include finishing 3rd Brit at the CCC by UTMB and taking the win at Centurion Running's South Downs Way 100.Charlie epitomises the strength that comes through vulnerability, and I was humbled by how reflective and open he was in sharing about his complex journey with running and mental health, both past and present. We talked about building emotional armouries; the connectivity brought by natural neural networks; comparison culture and seeing the person behind the results; the lure of the great unknown; how plants and running can save your life, and why we would all benefit from stopping to hug the tree.Charlie and I chatted for a while after we finished recording and agreed that ideas around diversity in trail running that we touched on, in terms of life experience and body type, should not in any way detract from the need to continue advocating and addressing the issues that prevail with representation and inclusion in the sport. Charlie also dove further into his experiences with overtraining and underfueling, which led to hormonal imbalances and greatly impacted his physical and mental health, and the need for more conversations around this. We are hopefully going to schedule a follow up episode for him to share his story, as part of the process of starting those conversations. Follow: @charlie.harpur Hosted on Acast.

In this episode join me, Anni Townend, as I share the power of a walk and talk conversation.For many years, and for as long as I can remember I have loved walking. I grew up in West Yorkshire and every Saturday walked with my family through fields and woodland close to where my father's mother lived in a rented cottage on a farm with her sister. These afternoons were the highlight of my week and were some of the best times that we had as a family. We walked and talked, as we roamed through fields avoiding cows and climbing over styles. As a teenager some of the easiest and at the same time most difficult conversations that I had with my father were when we were walking the two of us, side by side, often in the rain or fog somewhere on the Pennine Way.Some thirty years ago I moved to a small semi-detached cottage on the South Downs Way, and over the past 10 years have incorporated the walk and talk, side by side conversation into my work as a leadership partner and executive coach to senior teams and senior leaders, whether that is in person or virtually.In person people meet me on the South Downs Way and we walk and talk, side by side; virtually we are both on our phones walking and talking - whether in person or virtually we pause, we stop, we listen, we notice as part of the coaching conversation paying attention to everything that is around us, looking up and looking down, feeling the ground beneath our feet, the air on our skin as part of becoming more conscious and clear on the way forward.If you would like to find out more about the Coaching Walk and Talk as part of team working and, or for yourself please get in touch with me Anni Townend.

“Winter camps are deliciously empty. It's kind of been my survival thing for this COVID year that never seems to end. It's nice to just relax, And just sit in the outdoors.” HOLLY WORTON is an author, podcaster, publishing strategist, personal and business coach, long distance walker, ultra-marathon runner, lover of nature and trainee druid. Despite all these things going on in her life, I was able to bring her down to a slow enough walk-and-talk pace to podcast chat with me recently. Holly's story is a fascinating mix of work experiences, entrepreneurship and adventures from her birthplace in California, into Central and South America, Spain and now finally she has settled in the UK with her Argentinian husband and relinquished her American passport for a British one. We begin our podcast chat at Denbies Hillside in Surrey Hills – an area of outstanding beauty. It is two days before the end of 2021 and as we walk the muddy, slippery paths of the North Downs Way, Holly talks about walking, running, camping, forest bathing, her deep connection to the earth's energy, why plants like lavender, mugwort and roses hold such an importance to her beyond their colour and scent, her favourite trees, and how through her deep love of nature and the ancient British landscape, she became a member of OBOD (Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids). "Connect to Nature so that you can connect to yourself.” Holly is the author of If Trees Could Talk, a number of walking books including Alone on the South Downs Way, and Walking the Ridgeway. She also talked about how to envision your year ahead with her book The Year You Want, and finally, she has a number of short self-help guides and plenty more which you can explore and purchase on her website https://www.hollyworton.com/ “It's so easy to get focussed on what you don't want. Shift your vision to what you do want."   To find out more about HOLLY WORTON go to … Website: https://www.hollyworton.com/ Into The Woods Podcast: https://www.hollyworton.com/podcast/ (I was recently a guest – Ep.440) also, she's on Instagram: @hollyworton ; Twitter: @hollyworton ; Facebook: @hollyworton   To find out about your podcast host Emma you can go to https://www.travellingthrough.co.uk/   A big thanks to Mariska Martina at https://www.mariskamartina.com/ for creating our wonderful podcast jingle!

In our inaugural episode of the Hiiker podcast, we reminisce about our trip to the South east of England in 2019 to complete the 100 mile South Downs way. This was Eoin's Daughter's (Katelynn) first long distance trail! Enjoy our first ever episode of the podcast

My guest in this episode is Frit Sarita Tam - she's an adventure filmmaker and photographer, rock climber, hiker, paddle boarder and more! Frit's introduction to the outdoors was by no means gentle - a 50km, 16 hour charity hike on the South Downs Way with no previous hiking experience. But it sparked a fascination with spending time outside and since then, she's consciously taken baby-steps (as she calls them) towards a more outdoorsy career and life. Those small moves forward have led her to taking up micro adventures after work, new outdoor hobbies, filming a documentary about a paddle boarding record and working for the Bear Grylls Survival Academy. Frit is a British Chinese lesbian and she's also passionate about trying to help other people in marginalised groups feel that the outdoors is for them too. I hope you enjoy this episode and Frit's story. Listen out for her tips for an outdoorsy life and don't forget that at the end of the podcast there's the relaxing minute of sounds from nature, recorded by some of you! The Outdoors Fix is a podcast produced and hosted by Liv Bolton @liv_outsideuk It is proudly supported by Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports – stores nationwide and online offering everything you need to equip you for the best outdoors experience.
