Welcome to a new episode of the Mountain Malarkey Podcast!

In the latest of our special guest episode, Andy and Dave are joined by EverTrekker, Stuart Hadden. Stuart was the first EverTrekker to take on our epic Summits of Fire Trek and has 30 years of experience in the Scottish Mountain Rescue.

Join us as we chat about:

• Some of the previous treks Stuart has done to summit Elbrus and Toubkal
• What inspired him to take on the Summits of Fire trek with EverTrek
• Whether Ecuador is a good trip for first-time trekkers
• Some of the best ways to keep in touch with friends and family while on the trip (and getting hold of the Yetis)
• And Stuart shares some of his biggest lessons from the trip - including eating with the locals - and why he's heading back out to do it all again.

This episode is packed with some great stories, including some edge-your-seat experiences from Stuart's trip. One to definitely give you a taster for this beast of a trek.
