In this episode, I talk with Maddy Turnbull, who lives in the Lake District and became part of the first all female British expedition team to attempt an unsupported North to South crossing of the Finnmark Plateau, the largest Ice Plain in Europe, in the Norwegian Arctic Circle in March 2020. We discuss her preparations for the trip, what life was like while crossing the plateau and returning to a world completely changed by the pandemic

In this, the first episode of 2022, I discuss the meaning of wilderness with Bill Murphy who initiated the Wild Nephin Wilderness project in 2010. We also talk about how wilderness is perceived by different cultures around the world, with particular reference to Europe and here in Ireland where the Nephin range in County Mayo is probably the best example on our shores.

In this, the last episode of 2021....seeing as it's a time when there is a lot of Christmas shopping going on, not to mention vouchers being received, I decided it was time to talk with Neil Smith from Charles Camping about the outdoor retail sector. This will hopefully help you navigate to what you want to buy for that outdoor enthusiast in your life...or what to look out for if you get some of those gift vouchers yourself.  Merry Christmas everyone

In this episode, I talk with Diarmuid Scully, a retired Captain from the Defence Forces about his experiences in the Wicklow Mountains and Glen of Imaal firing range, so as to help gain a little more insight into this particular area and what happens here.    

In this the very first episode of Mountain to Glen The Podcast, I talk with Alan Murphy about his trip to Antartica...which could be said turned into a real family expedition. We discuss the journey from first signing up for the trip, to preparations before leaving Ireland, to time spent in the Antarctic region itself and his thoughts as he followed in the footsteps of Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean.
