  • Inspiring storytelling

    Abigail and her guests lead the listener to dream and be inspired by their stories of beautiful places in Aotearoa. They showcase that you can have a small or an epic adventure, and both are just as life-giving - being outdoors and in nature. Thanks for doing this podcast Abigail, every episode I find myself surprised to be interested and inspired by every topic, even the ones I’d never dreamed of doing myself, maybe I could!

  • Not worth my time

    Tried to listen to show about Mt. Cook hiking. Abigail needs a better mike- too “breathy” and she says “like” too often. But more importantly - I wanted info actual usable information about the trails and hiking them—— but it consisted mostly of “if you have a chance to go- it’s amazing”. Not worth my time and unpleasant to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

160: Hut Etiquette in DOC Huts and Exploring the Whitcombe Valley with Renee Cadigan
Q: How do you make a complaint to DOC? Did you first do that?
Well, because I have a few DOC members that actually follow me, they messaged me and asked what day it was and did I get a name.
160: Hut Etiquette in DOC Huts and Exploring the Whitcombe Valley with Renee Cadigan
Q: How do you best address it when the hut etiquette is really bad?
I guess in that situation, we didn't address it at all. We just hightailed it out there. But there have been circumstances where I have had to ask people to be mindful of the others that are sleeping.
157: Setting the Fastest Self-Supported Record on Te Araroa with Billy Meredith
Q: What advice would you give to those planning to hike Te Araroa?
Pack good rain gear due to unpredictable weather, and expect that the trail might take longer than anticipated, so have extra food.
157: Setting the Fastest Self-Supported Record on Te Araroa with Billy Meredith
Q: What were some of the best parts of Te Araroa for you?
One of the highlights was paddling on the Whanganui River and experiencing the incredible scenery and glow worms. The Richmond Ranges offered beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
155: Five days on the Sladden Glacier climbing Mt Sealy and Mt Jeanette with Kaleb Anderson
Q: What's the biggest thing to be aware of or know when making the jump from hiking to mountaineering?
The biggest thing to know is about confidence and skills, learning from experience. Snow safety is key, as avalanche risks are much higher in mountaineering.
