- Fantastic Podcast
I love listening to this podcast. It’s very informative and interesting. It’s nice that it doesn’t just cover American trails for a change.

Canadaa month ago - Please stop saying “I must admit”
This podcast has great topics and really well researched. The on trail episodes are a little boring but the after the trip are always good. Tim please stop saying “I must admit” is totally infuriating and annoying or at least edit it out. You could also do better by being a bit more empathic and polite to your guests, sometimes they are saying really interesting things and Tim’s reply is an unrelated question from his list of questions rather than comment on that interesting thing or continue th... more

Australia4 months ago - Entertaining and informative
I only discovered this podcast a few months ago and I have been binging as many episodes as I can squeeze into my day. Gill and Tim, thanks so much for giving me my hiking fix when I can’t actually get out for a hike.
Apple Podcasts5ALisaLeeStrollAustralia4 months ago - Warning! Listening to this can be dangerous lol
I’ve only been listening to Tim and Gill for about 6 months, but it has become one of my top podcasts. It took me a few episodes to get used to the style and banter but I now actively seek out episodes of interest anytime it’s podcast time. This show is dangerous if you have even a tiniest bit of wanderlust…you’ll be wanting to head to the outdoor shops, quit your job and hit the trails and great outdoors! Thank you for your show!

Great podcast. New to hiking. Information relevant and helpful. Just did 3 Capes and preparing for Overland. Not knowing anything about hiking and being brand new and raw and green, it’s great to hear you guys and learn some from those who have gone out and done. Thanks.
