I had a great time on the Steve Wright show being interviewed by Craig Charles. Talked about my new book, the festival and more.

I joined Countryfile again last week, and, along with  John Craven and wildlife photographer Simon King spent the day in a Bristol park to launch the Countryfile photography competition 2019 .Such a lovely team to work with and a beautiful day spent looking closely at plants like nettles and hog weed and trying to spot an otter..I’ll leave you guessing what the theme is this year.

Cedric Burnside from North Mississippi was my guest on the BBC Radio 2 show this week. Lovely chatting about juke joints, sweet tea and the endless deep groove of Hill Country Blues . Hear it here .

Author of First Ascent (the untold story), Harriet Tuckey, came in to talk Everest: altitude, hydration, diet, oxygen, hypothermia; In a nutshell, the science of outdoors pursuits, but also about her remarkable relationship with her Dad, the inimitable scientist / physiologist Griffith Pugh . Fascinating to read and hear about the flaws of The Royal Geographic Society, and the Alpine Club’s mad bigotry against the working and lower middle classes ‘whiff of tradesman’.
