Sometimes the best bits of life aren’t the big adventures — they’re the little moments we almost miss.

This week I’m chatting about sunrise coffees, sunset walks, blowing bubbles and attempting to play Poohsticks when there’s no water in the stream! 😂

We also meet Adventure Geek member Gillian for a quick-fire round, Pete answers a very simple question about his favourite cold drink in a very Pete-like way, and I’ve got the latest Adventure Geek news.

There’s also our newly launched Iceland adventure, the Camino Inglés, some good news from around the world, new AG Sun Hoodies and an update on our Halloween Haunt.

And finally, I’m packing my bags again — this time for Slovenia! 🇸🇮 White water rafting, Lake Bled and a night in a mountain hut await.

There won’t be a podcast next week while I’m away, but I’ll be back the following week with plenty of stories!

Grab a coffee, pop your headphones in and come for a walk with me.

Adventure Geek Radio is back — and we’ve reached Episode 10! 🎉

This week feels like the start of a new season. After months of building the new Adventure Geek website, Phase One is finally live and I can lift my head up, step away from the laptop and get back to the part of Adventure Geek I love most — the people, walks, socials and adventures.

In this episode:

🥾 The new Adventure Geek website is officially live
🎃 Plans for our Halloween Haunt Hunt
🇮🇸 Iceland 2027 is happening
🥾 Jan and Marly make it to Santiago
✈️ Our Dambusters & B29 Wreck Weekend
🚂 A steam train makes an appearance from the Isle of Man
😂 Pete brings us childhood party memories — and a terrible joke
🧘 Maxine joins me for a chat about meditation and why even one minute can make a difference
🐢 Plus some good news involving dogs, ospreys and one very well-travelled turtle

We also introduce Walk It Forward, our new home for pre-loved walking gear looking for another adventure.

Pop your headphones on, grab a cuppa — or better still, take us out for a walk.

Live your best life. 💚

What could you change simply by using the time you already have differently?

This week, Julia shares how a 32-minute drive and a well-timed audiobook sparked some big thoughts about growth, values and making sure life still feels like you.

We also catch up with Pete’s weekly round robin and preview the Shropshire Three Peaks Challenge. There’s news from across the Adventure Geek community, a well-deserved congratulations for Snay and an update on Julia’s troublesome left foot.

Plus, Mandy reveals last week’s mystery sound, there’s a brand-new one to solve—and a rather strange recording Julia can’t explain!

Grab a cuppa, pull on your walking boots and join us for another warm and slightly quirky catch-up from Adventure Geek.

This week on Adventure Geek Radio, we’re talking about something we often put at the bottom of the list… ourselves.

After finally having treatment on a foot problem I’ve ignored for years, I share a simple story that really made me stop and think. If someone gave you your dream car and told you it had to last a lifetime, you’d look after it. So why don’t we treat our bodies the same way?

We also celebrate the incredible Adventure Geek community after our walk leaders stepped in to cover my walks while I recovered, proving once again that this really is more than just a walking group.

Plus, in this week’s episode:

• The new Shropshire Three Peaks Challenge
• Maxine explains why walking should be as essential as eating, sleeping and breathing.
• Pete is back with the weekly Round Robin.
• Another Mystery Sound for you to guess.
• I share the story behind my new Meta AI glasses.
• The first Albania Travel Journal is now live.
• And we celebrate walking 1,571 miles together during July so far – that’s the equivalent of walking from Towcester to Alicante!

So, grab a cuppa, lace up your walking boots and come and join me for another friendly chat.

Live your best life. 💚

This week on Adventure Geek Radio, I’m chatting about why a simple change of environment can sometimes be exactly what we need.

After years of working from home, I’ve made the move to the NatWest Accelerator Hub in Milton Keynes, and it’s already changing the way I work, think and plan for the future of Adventure Geek.

I also look back on our fantastic (and very hot!) adventure in Dubrovnik, share some exciting travel news, celebrate another successful Book Club, and reveal why my backpacking kit is coming out of retirement for a brand-new adventure in 2027.

Along the way you’ll hear:

• Pete Moore’s latest Round Robin question
• This week’s Mystery Sound
• Sounds from a peaceful Croatian evening
• Good news stories from around the world
• Our featured trip to Istanbul & Cappadocia
• The latest StepUp Challenge update

So grab a cuppa, lace up your walking boots and join me for another wander through everything that’s happening in the Adventure Geek community.

Live your best life.

This week on Adventure Geek Radio, we’re asking a simple question…

Why not?

It’s amazing how many adventures begin with those two little words.

Join me as I catch up on everything happening in the Adventure Geek community, including our Halloween Haunt plans, We Will Rock You at Rugby Theatre, the latest photo competition winner and an update on the cycling group.

There’s another Mystery Sound to guess (with a guest appearance from Caroline!), this week’s Good News, a quick stop on the Peak Pilgrimage Trail, Richard Jones shares his latest walking thoughts, and Maxine reflects on how our recent trip to Albania helped us grow in ways we didn’t expect.

We’ll also celebrate another fantastic month in the StepUp Challenge, where together we walked an incredible 3,084 miles despite the heatwaves.

In this episode:

• Quote of the Week – “The best adventures often begin with three simple words… Why not?”
• Adventure Geek News
• Mystery Sound
• Good News from around the world
• Round Robin
• Maxine’s Wellbeing Corner
• Peak Pilgrimage Trail
• Featured Trip – Amsterdam 2027

This week on Adventure Geek Radio, we’re talking about what happens when the weather turns our carefully planned walks upside down… and why friendship often turns out to be the real adventure.

• The latest Round Robin discussion – recorded over coffee instead of on a walk!
• A lovely interview with Sue Phillips about her Camino experience.
• Our brand-new Mystery Sound challenge – can you guess the animal?
