Yorick Vion is a 3rd generation French mountain guide, ski racer, free-ride skier and all round ‘big deal.’

We catch up in his home town of Courchevel to discuss his passion for the mountains and how being rooted in the process is more uplifting and meaningful than the summit.

Only four months(!) after they said they would try and record a Coolaboration episode every month, Kenton and Dave's paths finally cross for a catch-up on KC's two trips to Antarctica, being environmentally conscious, DC's latest running adventures and their respective plans for this Spring and Summer.

Grab a coffee, hit the trails, or put it on in the car. Wherever you listen, we hope you enjoy this latest episode from the Cool Conversations team.

In January 2020, four Royal Navy Submariners became the first-ever Royal Navy team and the fastest military team in history to row any ocean. The team spent 37 days, 6 hours and 40 minutes battling across the North Atlantic to reach Nelsons Dockyard, Antigua. Their endeavours raised more than £100k for project HMS Oardacious which supports Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Submarine community.

In this episode of Cool Conversations, Kenton talks to one of the 4 members of that Royal Navy crew, Hugo Mitchell-Heggs. 

Hugo describes himself as "An enthusiastic individual constantly striving for excellence in all facets of both professional and personal life." We say, "he's that and so much more".

The southernmost continent on the planet, Antarctica, is the home of the Vinson Massif. And it's that Massif, and in particular, Vinson, the highest mountain on the continent, that's the topic of this series of Tails from the Trails.

Part one of a two-part series. Kenton is your guide to the top of Antarctica.

Richard is best known for his fight against palm oil and single-use plastic, but there is way more than environmental activism to his CV.

As Chairman of the Iceland supermarket chain, Richard looks after more than 1000 outlets with a combined turnover of more than £4 Billion.

When not in business mode, he can be found catching waves or climbing mountains.

In this episode, Kenton catches up with Richard after a day of ice climbing in Norway. The pair talk about the family business, his passion for sustainability, and how a company can live in harmony with the environment.

You won't have heard of Celine Jaccoad. But there is a good reason for that. Instead of posting her adventures online, Celine chooses to live a life offline and in the moment. The result? An authentic life of raw adventures.

Celine's story is super empowering. It might even persuade you to put your phone down, get outside, and "get it done". And not for the 'gram', but for yourself and your community.

Guy Cotter has been at the cutting edge of high-altitude guiding since the 90s. A guide on one of the very first commercial expeditions to Everest, there is little he hasn't seen in the ever-changing world of 8000m climbing.

Here he talks about the early beginnings, his ethos behind being a mountain guide and his hopes (and fears) for the future of Everest.

What makes the tiny Himalayan royal kingdom of Bhutan such a special place? @KentonCool searches for the answer to that question in this episode of Tales from the Trails.
