    Episode 15: The People Who Show Up 🌲

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventure Geek Radio, we're celebrating the people who show up — from neighbours coming to the rescue when Little Sid finally needed saving, to the volunteers who keep our Adventure Geek walks going while I'm off adventuring. We're also heading out into the New Forest, with recordings straight from the trail. You'll hear the crunch of the beach beneath our feet, some mystery birds that I definitely can't identify, and the rather dramatic sound of a tree coming down in the forest! 🌲 The Dog Pack answer this week's round robin question, "What did you do yesterday?", Pete somehow turns a conversation about historic buildings into the Time Warp, and I share three bits of good news from the week. Plus, this week's Treat of the Week is Conversation by Vanessa Van Edwards — a book I haven't actually read yet because it hasn't been released. Minor detail. 😂 And finally, I'm getting ready to head to Spain with our Camino Finisterre group. 🇪🇸🥾 Grab a cuppa, pop your headphones on and come for a wander with us.

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 12 of Adventure Geek Radio, I’m talking about a moment on a walk that made me stop and think… when did I become this person? 🐄 A field full of cows, a group of nervous walkers and a fear I once shared became a rather unexpected reminder that courage isn’t always about getting rid of fear — sometimes it’s simply about not letting fear be in charge. We’ve also got the latest Adventure Geek news, Caminos galore, Bungee Fitness coming to AG, Pete’s Round Robin, Christine joins us for a chat, some rather wonderful good news stories and, of course, a brand-new Mystery Sound.

    Episode 11: Sunrises, Poohsticks & Simple Pleasures

    Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the best bits of life aren’t the big adventures — they’re the little moments we almost miss.

There’s also our newly launched Iceland adventure, the Camino Inglés, some good news from around the world, new AG Sun Hoodies and an update on our Halloween Haunt. And finally, I’m packing my bags again — this time for Slovenia! 🇸🇮 White water rafting, Lake Bled and a night in a mountain hut await.

    Episode 8: Looking After Yourself, New Adventures & The Power of Community

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventure Geek Radio, we’re talking about something we often put at the bottom of the list… ourselves. After finally having treatment on a foot problem I’ve ignored for years, I share a simple story that really made me stop and think. If someone gave you your dream car and told you it had to last a lifetime, you’d look after it. So why don’t we treat our bodies the same way? We also celebrate the incredible Adventure Geek community after our walk leaders stepped in to cover my walks while I recovered, proving once again that this really is more than just a walking group. Plus, in this week’s episode: The new Shropshire Three Peaks Challenge Maxine explains why walking should be as essential as eating, sleeping and breathing.Pete is back with the weekly Round Robin.Another Mystery Sound for you to guess.I share the story behind my new Meta AI glasses.The first Albania Travel Journal is now live.And we celebrate walking 1,571 miles together during July so far – that’s the equivalent of walking from Towcester to Alicante!So, grab a cuppa, lace up your walking boots and come and join me for another friendly chat.
