CTA 007 - Kayaking the Amazon, Walking India, And Film Making With Olie Hunter Smart

Today we’re chatting with one of my good mates in the adventure scene Olie Hunter Smart.

Olie’s most recent adventure involved him walking the length of India, which is over 4,000km by the way, retracing Ghandi’s steps, exploring the theme of India’s Road to Independence from Britain.

But he’s also travelled the length of the Amazon river, first trekking 400 miles through the Peruvian Andes before hopping in a Kayak for the next 3,600 miles finishing up at the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the first to complete the journey unsupported.

He’s also cycled JOGLE (John O Groats to Lands End) and loves a good mid-week micro-adventure.
Enjoy!

This week we’re chatting with Nick Hayes, the author of a number of books including The Book of Trespass, A Sunday Times Best Seller.

We talk about the controversial plan of the conservative government to criminalise trespassing, its impact on ramblers, wild campers, protestors, and the travelling community, the history of land ownership and access in England, and really question the best way forward in a time when we should be encouraging more people to spend more time in nature.
