On The Outside

Welcome back to On The Outside! We're returnig with an in-depth chat about all things Kinder Scout Trespass. Last month was the 90th anniversary of a mass trespass across Kinder Scout in the Peak District, a moment that is credited with helping to create our National Parks, and rights of way access in the UK.

Francesca is joined by Frit Tam, Ani Patas and Vedangi Kulkarni to talk about who took part in the original Kinder Scout Trespass, and why is happened...

This episode takes a close look at the news articles about Olympic climber Shauna Coxsey climbing whilst pregnant. We talk about the different reactions to her journey, how the articles are framed, and we hear first hand experience of climbing whilst pregnant. We go on to talk about the wider perceptions and culture around active and adventurous parents. Plus we highlight some good resources for Mental Health Awareness Week...

We have a bonus episode for you! This follows on from our last episode on climbing whilst pregnant. If you've listened to Episode 12 you heard some of the conversation I had with Keri Wallace.

Keri is a fell runner, skyrunner, rock climber and writer, and she is also one of the Founders of Girls On Hills, and she talked to Fran about her experience of climbing but wasn't able to join us for the main podcast recording...

Co-hosts Oge Ejizu and Fran Turauskis bring you a new type of episode. We ask Omie Dale, Director of Swim Unity, about Drowning Prevention Week, her passion for teaching people to swim, and the video series on beginners swim tips on Instagram. Plus, we talk about levels of proficiency in swimming and hiking...

Happy Birthday On The Outside! We launched the show a whole year ago, so this short episode asks four questions:

What have you most enjoyed?
Has the outdoor space changed in the past year?
What is the most pressing issue in the outdoor community?
What would you like to see us do on the podcast?

It's time to talk about money in the outdoor sector. I know there are individuals and groups having these conversations on a case-by-case level. We decided not to talk about this on the podcast until now because we didn’t want to be outing individual experiences with payment...

A short update from Fran to acknowledge the lack of activity on the podcast feed - and to acknowledge that that is okay too!
