This week, host Rory chats with outdoor expert John Elkin, who's gearing up for an epic journey along the Western Front Way next year—by bike. With deep family ties to the outdoor world and years of experience, John is the epitome of a leader in outdoor adventures.


In this conversation, John takes us behind the scenes of his meticulous planning process, sharing how he maps, prepares, and connects with the terrain to ensure he’s in the right headspace for the journey ahead. Whether you're planning your own adventure or simply love hearing from seasoned explorers, John's insights are essential for anyone considering a Waytrail.


And of course, we meet John's dog—if only briefly (and with a bark or two)!


A brilliant guest and a must-listen for anyone tackling long-distance adventures or looking for inspiration in outdoor exploration.
