Once again Andy and I get out to the Destinations and Focus 09 Show to look for somewhere a bit different and of interest for our listeners. So this podcast includes information on Vietnam, returning to live the Hippy Lifestyle in a big huge orange truck and taking a long months holiday which includes volunteering your skills for a week somewhere on route. Plus a bit of gear chat about the new Sigma fixed lens landscape camera. Enjoy!

Back from the TGO Challenge and feeling all chilled out after a BBQ here's a quick podcast to keep you going this sunny June day. I meet the man who sells £50K Airstream caravans, the lady from Fuji who talks pixels and the owner of the Dalwhinnie Inn, who tells us about the changes to this venue and how the outdoor scene is changing in that area.

Some very diverse content this time for you. Interviews about Mongolia and Malaysia as exciting low cost destinations and also with the editor of Photography Monthly magazine regarding turning your hobby into an income in these troubled times. Plus links to a series of other outdoor podcasts which will add to your aural pleasure. I also look at the current state of our TGOC plans, which are somewhat late! Hope you enjoy it!

A rich and varied podcast for you this time, as I catch up with the Ramblers Association to hear how there's a new influx of members in these credit crunched times, Andy continues his love affair with everything French by finding out how inexpensive it is to travel on the canals of mainland Europe, plus I discover how, if you can't get to the Desert, you can bring the Desert home to you with Harem Nights! Recorded at the Caravan Show and the Destination Show at the NEC early 2009.

Shirley Worrall continues her interview in this the second part of her GR20 review podcast. Her trip was undertaken during the Summer of 2008, and she tells of great weather, fabulous views and a warm welcoming invitation from local fellow hikers.

Shirley Worrall has undertaken many long distance walks around the UK and the Pyrenees in recent years. In this initial podcast she discusses all the practical aspects involved in planning the trip in the summer of 2008, and describes how a trip like this unfolds.

In this show we hear about some of the affordable traveling options within the Czech Republic once you actually leave Prague, find out why Andy is so concerned about size, and slow down camping to a paddle with the Canoe Camping Club. Enjoy!

With one eye on the financial situation and the other on wanting to have a break away from all this depression, we look to the Isle of Wight and Brittany for cheap break suggestions. Once we are there of course, we can mix in the hobby of photography, so award winning landscape photographer Steve Walton, gives us some tips.

Last year we supported the Aquagear Water filter as being a brilliant new product of benefit to all outdoors users. The same filter has now been put inside The Travel Tap and we catch up with designer and importer Giles Butler for the full details. Jane Smith has just returned from the Gambia and the filter proved to be worth it's weight in gold!

It's no mean feet planning a walk across Scotland for the RAB TGO Challenge. But how difficult it is to plan a route when you're based two or three thousand miles away on the other side of the world? Andy Howell talks to US backpacker Rob Hausam about crossing Scotland and about a planned Packrafting, hiking, adventure in Alaska. Is Andy tempted to a life on the fast watery wave?
