Text us your views -- we'll share some on the next episode

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. Plus, what happened at the commemorative Kinder In Colour event this year, our thoughts on events with large numbers of people in the countryside, and what do we mean by "decolonise the countryside"?

Text us your views -- we'll share some on the next episode

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. This is the full conversation Fran had with Keri. Whether you are a pregnancy expert or a pregnancy novice, this conversation really expands on what you heard in the main episode, and it was a really interesting chat.
