We need to talk about the outdoors. Not just the epic stories, but the important news, the big events and the social issues that permeate the whole of the outdoors. On The Outside is for everyone who spends their leisure time outdoors in the UK. It helps you engage in the wider outdoor community through the conversations of our diverse panel. We are enthusiasts and experts from a range of outdoors activities, and we're talking about the news stories that matter to us - from specific sports news, to headline stories about our countryside, and the viral posts that capture outdoors culture - all in a jargon and judgement free way! On The Outside is part of the Tremula Network.

episode 22: Kendal Mountain Tour begins, and reflections on Kendal Mountain Festival 2022 with Ani Barber from Outside: Our Way
The Kendal Mountain Festival national tour began last week and I thought the start of the tour would be a good chance for me to catch up on our Kendal coverage.
I could not make it to Kendal in November myself, but I managed to convince a panelist you know quite well to represent the podcast. In a moment you will hear the post-festival conversation I had with her, plus she asked a number of different people the same three questions:
- Have you been to Kendal before?
- What’s been your favourite part?
- What would you like to see improved or done differently?
