    Tim's Emergency Camp

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week’s episode is a mix of studio chat and field recording as Tim answers an unexpected call to duty. With very little notice, Tim found himself rapidly throwing together a kit list, loading up the essentials, and heading off on a lengthy journey to a remote campsite. The mission? To spend a night under canvas and help rescue a damsel in distress. Not all heroes wear capes, and apparently some carry camping gear instead. From last-minute packing and travel challenges to the realities of an unplanned night in the great outdoors, Tim talks us through the adventure as it unfolded. Recorded partly on location, this episode captures the atmosphere, the highs, the lows, and the moments that make these sudden expeditions memorable. So settle in and join us as we hear how Tim stepped up, took one for the team, and embarked on what can only be described as an emergency camping mission.

    Camping Checklist

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week Tim and Ade kick things off with a healthy dose of classic Casual Camping chaos — the kind of warm, wandering banter that somehow manages to be both completely off‑topic and absolutely essential. Before long they tumble into the main theme: how to make sure you don’t forget a single thing when heading out on a camping adventure. They chat through the tools, tricks, and systems that actually work, from digital checklists to old‑school methods that stop you arriving at the campsite only to realise your stove, your torch, or your favourite mug is still sitting at home. There’s plenty of real‑world wisdom mixed with the usual teasing, detours, and one particularly ridiculous tangent where the show briefly transforms into the Casual Campaigning Podcast for no good reason other than it made them laugh. It’s practical, playful, and full of that familiar energy — a mix of helpful advice and joyful nonsense that makes planning your next trip feel a lot less like admin and a lot more like part of the adventure.

    Camping with the Family

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week Tim and Ade bring peak sibling chaos to the mic before eventually remembering they’re meant to be talking about family camping. Between the tangents, questionable stories, and at least one argument about snacks, they somehow deliver a cracking guide to making trips with the kids fun instead of feral. They chat about surviving the journey without losing your mind, pitching camp without a meltdown, and keeping the little ones entertained with adventures that cost absolutely nothing. Expect practical tips, plenty of laughter, and the usual dose of Casual Camping nonsense that makes you feel like you’re already sat around the fire with them.

    Micro Adventure Part 3

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review In this episode, Ade and Tim take a step back and look at their micro adventure with fresh eyes. A few days have passed since their night ascent of Mount Snowdon — the climb, the camp, the sunrise breakfast — and now it’s time to reflect. They talk through what went well, what they’d do differently, and how the whole experience has settled in now that the dust has been brushed off and the tiredness has faded. From the quiet moments on the mountain to the laughter that carried them through the dark, it’s a thoughtful debrief on what adventure really means when life is busy and time is short. There’s honesty, humour, and a bit of perspective — the kind that only comes after doing something slightly mad and then having a few days to think about it. It’s a conversation about lessons learned, memories made, and the lingering satisfaction of turning a simple idea into something unforgettable.

    Micro Adventure Part 2

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review In this episode, Ade and Tim finally put their plan into action. After a full day at work, they jumped in the car, headed straight for Mount Snowdon, and began their night ascent. What followed was a mix of tired legs, head‑torch‑lit paths, unexpected moments of calm, and the kind of quiet excitement that only comes from doing something slightly unhinged on a weekday evening. They reached the summit in the dark, pitched the tent in the wind, and settled in for a few hours of cold, restless but unforgettable sleep. As dawn broke, they unzipped the tent to a rising sun spilling across the mountains, fired up the stove, and cooked breakfast and fresh coffee on the highest point in Wales. It was simple, surreal, and exactly the kind of moment that makes a micro adventure worth every step. With the sun fully up, they packed away the tent, began the long walk back down, and eventually made their way home — tired, muddy, buzzing, and already talking about what they might do next. Throughout the episode, you’ll hear the real recordings from the climb, the summit, the early‑morning brew, and the journey back, capturing the atmosphere of the whole adventure exactly as it happened. It’s the payoff to the planning, the reality behind the idea, and a reminder that even the wildest midweek plans can turn into something unforgettable.

    Micro Adventure Part 1

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week, Ade and Tim dive into the planning stage of their upcoming micro adventure — a simple but brilliant idea that’s been bubbling away for a while. The plan is wonderfully straightforward: finish work one evening, jump in the car, head straight to Mount Snowdon, climb it in the dark, camp on the summit, and wake up ready to cook breakfast as the sun rises over the mountains. In this first part, they talk through how the idea came about, how they’ll time the journey and the night ascent, and what they’ll need to take with them to make the whole thing safe, fun, and just chaotic enough to feel like a proper adventure. There’s plenty of gear chat, a bit of route pondering, and the usual mix of enthusiasm, questionable logic, and the kind of silliness that always seems to appear when these two start planning something mildly ridiculous. It’s the build‑up, the excitement, and the anticipation — all the ingredients that make a micro adventure feel real before it’s even begun.

    Day Coolers

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week Ade and Tim unpack one of the biggest — and most surprising — trends from last week’s Outdoor Trade Show in Liverpool: the explosion of day coolers. While the industry has spent years obsessing over multi‑day, expedition‑grade cool boxes that promise to keep ice frozen for 3, 4, even 5 days, this year the pendulum swung the other way. Everywhere the lads turned, brands were showing off coolers designed for real life: the beach afternoon, the park picnic, the long drive, the spontaneous day out. Soft coolers, hard coolers, self‑inflating coolers (yes, really), premium ones, budget ones — every price point, every style, every brand seemed to be in on the shift. And honestly? The show was buzzing about it. So were Ade and Tim. It’s not glamorous gear. It’s not headline‑grabbing. But it’s the stuff people actually use, and this year it finally got its moment.

    Outdoor Trade Show 2026

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week Ade and Tim take the listeners behind the curtain of the UK’s most exciting, most secretive, and most tantalisingly off‑limits event in the camping calendar: The Outdoor Trade Show in Liverpool. It’s the show you can’t buy tickets for. The show where everything is shiny, new, and won’t hit the shelves until next year. The show that turns two grown men into excitable children with press passes. Travelling up by train, the lads dive into a full day of exploring prototypes, future gear, wild innovations, and the kind of kit that makes you whisper “I need that” even though it technically doesn’t exist yet. Expect stories from the exhibition floor, early favourites, unexpected discoveries, and a few moments where Ade had to be gently steered away from “accidentally” adopting more equipment. It’s enthusiastic, nerdy, full of wonder, and absolutely peak Casual Camping Podcast.
