    S2:E3. “We can do hard things!” - A Conversation with Ella Friess

    This episode of Something about the Sea completes the trio of adventure stories, fittingly with Ella Friess, who not only had a part to play in both adventures I spoke about with Seb and Ben, but also had a pretty enormous adventure of her own branching out from where we all met up in Morocco last year. For Ella, that was just the beginning of a trip to walk the Camino de Santiago, an 839km hike across the northern coast of Spain. We talk about adventure, solo travel, surf, the kindness of strangers and Nuns and walking a very very long way.

    S2:E2. “The relative comfort of iron chunks”- A Conversation with Ben Stringer

    Last winter, knowing Seb, Grace, and a group of other crew from the Wave in Bristol were headed to Morocco, Ben wanted to plan an adventure around that as an end location. He landed on the idea of jumping aboard the Mauritania Iron Ore train, and travelling 700km through the desert, then another 1200 plus of hitchhiking to arrive at Imsouane in Morocco in January/February last year.

    S2:01. “Limp Mode to Imsouane”- A Conversation With Seb Vincent

    One year on from our France adventure, I’m re-launching Something about the Sea for a series of conversations with friends, adventurers, surfers and just some really cool folks. Expect conversations about surfing and adventure, resilience and mental health. I suspect slightly less cous-cous chat than series one (sorry cous-cous fans) but some fabulous chats with awesome people. First up is Seb. Seb drove 3000 miles from Bristol to Imsouane, Morocco last winter, arriving there just as the town was being suddenly and unexpectedly demolished by the Moroccan government. I briefly caught up with Seb while he was in Imsouane but this fascinating chat happened in the back of my Van Home in Bristol, UK.

    Episode 11: 296 km

    Angus and Sam reach the sea wall that marks the end of what felt like an infinitely long beach. A short episode this time, capturing that moment. A few more episodes to come as they make their way back to the UK.

    Episode 10: 282 km

    Sam and Angus pay the price for wrong turning and finally get some beautiful waves in Hossegor.

    Episode 09: 244km

    It’s been a few days of a lot of walking and little phone signal or battery, so a pretty huge increase in our km count for this episode, and a whole bunch of cool stories to tell.

  8. 11/09/2023

    Episode 08: 135 km

    Back on track after the storm, Angus and Sam leave Biscarosse for phase 2 of the journey. En route they meet Kai and Nico, both cycle tourers and long term adventurers, setting up camp together for the night. This episode features an extended conversation with them talking about adventure travel, ‘real jobs’, human connection and the importance of sunlight and Argentinian Yerba Maté.
