What a lovely email to get on a Friday afternoon from the Independent Podcast Awards confirming me as a Finalist in this years awards within the Travel and Adventure category. (Link in the bio)

I’m sorry I’ve been a bit tardy in recent months and even though I do have numerous Podcasts waiting to be finished on the hard drive that frustrating thing ‘life’ has been getting in the way with one project or another preventing me from getting the job done. John Lennon was bang on the money! (People over 50 should get that one!)

The podcast that got me noticed was my edit of and her epic solo row. What a fascinating lady and I see she is now inspiring other adventures around the world with a variety of lectures and talks. I do hope to meet her face to face one day.

Regular listeners will know this is my 20th year of producing podcasts, a longer career than many BBC stars of our times, and I’ve loved talking with others who share an equal passion for the outdoors.

I’m just a few short of 600 in the library and I’ve touched on various aspects over the years. Along the way I’ve tried to keep listeners entertained with different angles, associated topics, Live Streams and Videos. I’m a sucker for tech and studio toys but even so, when I’m out recording my hikes (such as the forthcoming Coast to Coast) I keep it really simple with a small stereo recorder in my jacket pocket and the simple desire to talk to others I meet on the road.

There is a link in my bio to all the other Finalists in this years awards, so if you’re a Podcast lover and want to see what’s hot in all the other categories, do give your lug-holes a treat.

I wonder if I can polish Hiking Boots? :)

Part two with .dk is now live. Direct link in the Bio……

Crossing into Africa, the terrain transforms: endless dunes, jagged mountains, then the humid greens of the Congo Basin. Along the way, strangers become friends. In one dusty Saharan village, a family shared palm wine beneath a baobab; in the rainforest, laughter echoed over rain-slicked paths. These aren’t just pit stops—they’re the heart of our story.
Lessons from the Road
Perspective Shifts: Daily dilemmas—finding water, fixing flats—turn each choice into a lesson.

Human Connection: Hospitality appears in every village; shared meals remind us of our shared humanity.

Joy in Simplicity: When your home is two wheels, every sunrise feels like a celebration.

Join the Ride
In just two episodes, we condense an odyssey of half a millennium of days. If you crave stories of raw adventure, laid-back wisdom, and the thrill of truly seeing the world, “Cape to Cape” is your next podcast obsession. Hit play, and let Ken & Marie show you how far a dream (and a bicycle) can take you.

🌍✨ TWO WHEELS. ONE WORLD.

Welcome to “Cape to Cape,” a two-part podcast that follows Kenneth Jørgensen and Marie Stoubæk .dk on a once-in-a-lifetime bikepacking adventure. Over 518 days and 30 641 km, they pedaled from the icy North Cape in Norway to the sun-baked tip of South Africa—crossing Europe’s heartlands, Morocco’s Atlas ranges, the endless Sahara, and the lush Congo Basin rainforest.
In Part One, we’ll meet Ken & Marie, uncover why they chose frugality over possessions, and ride along through Europe into Morocco. In Part Two, we brave the Sahara’s sandstorms, sip palm wine under African skies, and share stories of kindness that transformed their journey.
Get ready for a story of endurance, wonder, and the simple power of two wheels. Kenneth & Marie.

New Podcast: When I think back to Ryan Archer’s Hexatrek adventure, I’m struck by how he stumbled upon this remarkable 3,034-kilometre trail in France. While hiking the Israel Trail, a YouTube comment about his dream of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail led him to the Hexatrek. In just three and a half weeks, Ryan prepared for this adventure, starting his journey from Wiltshire, UK, to the stunning vineyards at the trailhead near Wittenberg. His spontaneous decision and swift preparation highlight the magic of seizing unexpected opportunities. This is part one.
