Need twinkly dragons ⭐️

Episode 38 did not disappoint , again a tissue warning should be given !
It was great to hear how Gary absolutely smashed his Dragon adventure and as per usual it was so honest and true , always good to hear the highs, the lows and tent life .. sure there is a reality show just there ..
honesty can’t recommend this podcast enough . Gary saying well done simply does not justify the work, effort and sheer determination that you demonstrated … but a huge well done and this episode invited the t n t family to share your journey and be inspired to step out .. thank you and now feet up and eat your body weight in yum Yums .

Long Run Companion

I’ve been listening for a while now, since a friend in my running group talked about the podcast recorded just after Eddie ran the Spine. This is the same running group mentioned by a previous reviewer, led by the Hay Runner. So I, too, have signed up for the Amsterdam marathon next month - my first road marathon. I think I talked to another of your reviewers when running the Lakeland Trails 55k in July as I spotted her Tea and Trails t-shirt. (It was my first ultra too!)
Until listening this morning I have heard much of interest and giggled a lot, but today was the first time I welled up while running - the “Tales from the Trails” about the runner with Parkinson’s brought tears to my eyes.
Keep up the good work - thank you.

The perfect long-run companion

Have been listening to the podcast from the very first episode and their weekly releases have been a highlight of my week ever since.

A great mix of segments and enough content to keep you entertained deep into your Sunday long run.

Gary and Eddie have a wonderful rapport - a duo that never fails to crack me up whether it’s boxing faux-pars or Eddies 10/10 accents.

When I’m struggling to get out of the door, I know I can get myself motivated by another episode of T&T.

And that’s without even mentioning the brilliant guests! Keep up the great work - it’s nice to be part of the Tea and Trails community! (Although a shout out to the midpack would be nice as I’m never going to top those strava charts!)
