概要

Janie Oates joins Notes from Big Trails to talk about a self-designed running adventure across the Canary Islands.

Starting with a race trip to Gran Canaria, Janie and three friends came up with the idea of running across multiple islands — Tenerife, La Palma and La Gomera — using ferries to link them together. Over the course of a week, they crossed volcanic landscapes, climbed ridgelines above the clouds, stayed in unmanned mountain refuges, and carried everything they needed between towns.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Designing your own route rather than following a known trail

  • Running across three islands in one week — and what that really involved

  • The contrast between Tenerife’s heat and tourism, La Palma’s high ridges, and La Gomera’s cloud forests

  • Managing water, food and pack weight in hot, exposed terrain

  • Fell running skills and long days of climbing and descent

  • Why La Palma left such a lasting impression

  • Travelling and running as a group of women — and the reactions they met along the way

This is a conversation about curiosity, contrast, and the quiet satisfaction of linking places together under your own power. Enjoy!
