  • 148. Ed Ley-Wilson: Exploring the mind and the sea
    2025/04/30
    Sue Stockdale speaks to adventurer, author, and deep thinker Ed Ley-Wilson. Ed shares insights from his life exploring both the outdoors and the mind. From kayaking the rugged west coast of Scotland to reflecting on resilience, solitude, and the power of slowing down, Ed reveals how adventure - whether on land, sea, or within ourselves shapes our engagement with the world.

    About Ed Ley-Wilson
    Ed has over thirty years of working and engaging with business, community, educational, social and environmental issues throughout the Highlands of Scotland. He has undertaken long self-supported kayaking journeys in Norway and Patagonia and has run 1200 miles of the Great Wall of China (1988) and the 2000 mile length of the Himalayas (1990). Ed is no stranger to hardship and during his 2022 kayaking journey up the west coast of Scotland he faced some of the worst weather in that region for years. He also has two books to his name, ‘The Himalayan Shuffle’ and ‘Kayaking the Sea Roads.

    Key Quotes
    • "Adventure isn’t just about the physical challenge; it’s about how we engage with the world around us and what we learn from it."
    • "Solitude teaches you resilience in a way nothing else can - you have to sit with your thoughts and find your own way through them."
    • "Whether on the sea or in life, you can’t always control what happens, but you can control how you respond to it."
    • "The lessons I learned from John Ridgway weren’t just about survival; they were about self-reliance, discipline, and understanding your own limits."
    • "Slowing down and disconnecting from the noise of the modern world is one of the greatest gifts adventure can offer."
    • "It's not a weakness to not know stuff. It's a strength actually".

  • 147. Zara Lachlan: One Woman’s Journey Rowing Across an Ocean
    2025/04/16
    Sue Stockdale welcomes Zara Lachlan, who shares her extraordinary experience of rowing solo across the Atlantic from mainland Europe to South America, covering over 3,500 nautical miles in 97 days. Despite overcoming many challenges as well as mental and physical hurdles during her voyage, Zara highlights the importance of resilience, self-belief, and the power of support from loved ones.

    About Zara Lachlan
    Zara Lachlan is a 21-year-old physics student at Loughborough University who is joining the army in September 2025 as a technical officer. She has competed internationally in cycling and rowing which she started at 16 at Welbeck, the Army’s 6th Form College. Zara heard about ocean rowing when she was much younger but only decided to take on this challenge last summer, and the first time she ever saw an ocean rowing boat was in August.Two and a half months of intensive training later, she was fully prepared to row across the Atlantic solo.

    Zara faced extreme weather leading to a capsize, orcas and sharks, and a near miss with a large ship, yet still describes her expedition as the most enjoyable and rewarding experience she has come across so far. Zara set out to encourage others to find a fun way to keep fit and healthy and gain the confidence needed to try something new. None of her crossing would have been possible without the support she got from the charity Team Forces and all her sponsors.

    Key Quotes
    • "I didn’t have a big reason to row across an ocean, I just thought it would be fun."
    • "Some days, I rowed for 21 hours, and it still wasn’t enough. That was a hard lesson in learning to accept what’s out of my control."
    • "For almost 60 days, I had no music, no distractions, just the ocean, the wildlife, and my own thoughts."
    • "The hardest part wasn’t the physical challenge. It was waking up every day knowing I had 3,000 miles left to go."
    • "Nine times out of ten, you’re stronger than you think you are. The only way to find out is to go for it."
