Just Up The Trail

Rob Jones

Just Up The Trail is the place to hear conversations from the outdoors. Its a place to hear from cool people doing cool things in even cooler places, a place where members of this vibrant and inclusive outside outdoor community share their stories, experiences and adventures. We'll hear from trail runners, long distance hikers, paddlers, bikers and climbers. We'll also hear from the activists, the wardens, the rescuers, those people who work to protect the places in which we seek adventure. So if you have a story to share or want to know more, drop me a line at www.justupthetrail.comr

In this little extra podcast I talk to Mike House about his forthcoming Three Peaks Challenge, climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours, raising money and awareness for Young Minds UK.

Along the way we discuss his photography, the Duke of Edinburgh award, his preparations and expectations for his adventure as well as the effects of the pandemic on his students and children in particular.

Just Up The Trail - Welcome to Just Up The Trail
play

04/11/22 • 4 min

Welcome to Just Up The Trail.

Before we officially start the show next month. I just wanted to introduce myself and this little project that I'm putting together. So my name is Rob Jones. I'm a hiker. I'm a pretty terrible climber. I love camping. I love being outdoors. I love taking my kids on adventures and now i'm getting into podcasting. for as long as we've been going a I've always tried to turn our trips and adventures and our hikes into stories but after years of telling my story, I want to start sharing the stories of other people's adventures. And that's what this show is.

It's a place to sit down with people who are doing cool things in really cool and beautiful places. Members of this outdoors community that I've felt a part of for the last few years. I want to create a library of stories, of experiences, of adventure, of knowledge, and know how, a place where people can come to hear what's going on in this vibrant and inclusive community that we have in the outdoors

If you have a story to tell, drop me a line at www.justupthetrail.com

You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

And you can also sign up for alerts and updates on the website, as we approached the big launch in May.

So please tell a friend about the show, share us on your socials and generally keep an eye and an ear out for us and until then.... happy trails.

Rob Jones
