Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 of my UK adventures bound by a single theme: they didn’t go to plan. From teenage mishaps to midnight marches and a canal odyssey gone sideways, these stories show that the best memories often come from the bits we couldn’t script. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start, this is your cue to get outside.In this conversation I talk about:The South Downs Disaster – my first wild camp at 18 that veered into a pub crawl, complete with a friend convinced he was being hunted through the woods.The 14-Hour Dartmoor Slog – a rain-soaked trek that spiralled into singing “there will be no white flag” while crossing a military training danger zone in the night.Birmingham to London by Narrowboat – two engine breakdowns, a towpath scam, and the stubborn optimism it took to coax a boat and a plan all the way south.I hope this episode nudges you to explore the UK and proves that anyone is ready for their first adventure.Thanks
