This week on Adventure Geek Radio, we're celebrating the people who show up — from neighbours coming to the rescue when Little Sid finally needed saving, to the volunteers who keep our Adventure Geek walks going while I'm off adventuring.

We're also heading out into the New Forest, with recordings straight from the trail. You'll hear the crunch of the beach beneath our feet, some mystery birds that I definitely can't identify, and the rather dramatic sound of a tree coming down in the forest! 🌲

The Dog Pack answer this week's round robin question, "What did you do yesterday?", Pete somehow turns a conversation about historic buildings into the Time Warp, and I share three bits of good news from the week.

Plus, this week's Treat of the Week is Conversation by Vanessa Van Edwards — a book I haven't actually read yet because it hasn't been released. Minor detail. 😂

And finally, I'm getting ready to head to Spain with our Camino Finisterre group. 🇪🇸🥾

Grab a cuppa, pop your headphones on and come for a wander with us.
