ATHiking...the Podcast
I've just come across this new-ish podcast. ATHiking...the Podcast, a podcast about hiking the Appalachian Trail.
So far there are only 4 episodes, with the latest being with Sarah from Freezer Bag Cooking.
I'm downloading them now; so haven't listened to any yet but should be good for the morning/afternoon commute.

A full Monday
It looks like Bob has been busy over the weekend; as there are three new podcasts to enjoy.
As usual there is the weekly podzine show.
In this environmentally friendly Podzine we chat with the original hippy celebrity cafe owner Pete Norton in Snowdon, catch up with John Hee one of the main organisers behind the Legalise Wild Camping campaign and discuss the recycling ethics within the tent industry with Andy Ayers from Green Outdoor. Plus announce the winner of last weeks camera competition and set this week's challenge.
Next up is the first of an Outdoors Show special; all about gear.
More from this year's Outdoors Show at the NEC and a podcast dedicated to the wonderful subject of gear! We hear what is coming soon from Alpkit, all about the Freeloader charger from Solar Technologies, have a clothing update from Montane, catch up with Sam from Shewee, understand more about Pacer Poles and speak to a man standing in a bucket of water! Diverse or what?
The Second Outdoors Show special is about 'Getting Out'
Lets get out and about in this podcast from the 08 Outdoors Show. For social inspiration why not try the Ramblers Association. Perhaps the John Muir Trust could do with your help? For younger female outdoor enthusiasts there always the Guiding Association. Show sponsors, Ordinance Survey explain their on-line portal and who can resist Ireland's North West cycle trail.
There is also a fourth podcast available; which is about a new lightweight water filtration and purification bottle.
The Aquagear Survivor is the lightest proven system in the world. This affordable, light, flexible bottle will solve all the dilemmas you've ever had, when wondering if your available drinking water is safe. Perfect for the hiker, cyclist, kayaker, bushcrafter, traveler and business person.

Cicerone Press - Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire contains Britain’s only coastal National Park, such is its beauty, with soaring rugged cliffs, tranquil inlets and broad sandy beaches. There is immense variety in both the scenery and natural life of the Pembrokeshire coast. Dennis and Jan Kelsall talk about their lifetime of exploration on foot, which can be equally satisfying for serious walkers and those more inclined to potter.Cicerone Press - Photography
Photography and the outdoors could have been made for each other, yet we all sometimes find there is a disappointing miss-match between what we wanted to capture, and what we actually achieved! Jon Sparks has developed his youthful hobby into a professional career, and here he offers some valuable tips for outdoor enthusiasts, whatever their sport or destination.Cicerone Press - Mark Richards Outdoor Writer
Mark Richards’ transition from full-time farmer to full-time outdoor writer has been a gradual one. In 1973, with the direct encouragement of Alfred Wainwright, he wrote his first walking guide to the Cotswold Way. Since then he has indulged his pleasure in exploring rural Britain by creating a range of walking guides, including guides to the Peak District, Hadrian’s Wall and more recently the ambitious series of ‘Fellranger’ guides to the Lake District, supported by ‘Great Mountain Days in the Lake District’, a new guide to 50 days out in the high fells.Cicerone Press - Paddy Dillon Islomania
Islomania is defined as a craze for, or a strong attraction to islands… and Paddy Dillon has the bug! Paddy is a prolific outdoor writer with over 30 books to his name. Here we find out just how many islands he has visited (and walked all over!), and what makes island visits so very special. You can get loads of great holiday ideas here!Cicerone Press - Paddy Dillon National Trails
Opened in 1965, the Pennine Way was Britain’s first national trail. Since then another 14 have been designated in England and Wales, with a further 4 in Scotland. Together they cover well over 5000 kilometres each one with unique qualities which explore the rich, scenic and historic countryside of Britain. Paddy Dillon has walked all the trails – twice! Here he talks about his love of the routes and his new guide, ‘The National Trails’ a complete compilation of all Britain’s National Trail walking routes.As usual the all the podcasts can be downloaded via iTunes or your favourite podcatcher, or at The Outdoors Station website.
This should keep us all entertained for the next few days.

Podzine - Lord Smith Interview
Now up on the Outdoors Station and available via iTunes or your favourite podcast downloader.
Andy Howell interviews Lord Smith.
Lord Smith of Finsbury is now well known as the President of the Ramblers’ Association, but in 1997 - as plain Chris Smith MP - he became Culture Secretary in Tony Blair’s incoming government. Working with colleagues he paved the way for the introduction of the Access legislation that is now well used by ramblers and hillwalkers throughout England and Wales. In this interview we talk to Lord Smith about the 100 year fight to introduce a right to roam, consider how these laws might be extended further and how we can best give young people better opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.

Podzine and outdoors bloggers
This week's podzine is up at the Outdoors Station. Santa Bob describes this week's show as thus:

We catch up with Judy Armstrong on her return from her 4000 mile Via Alpina trip and meet some popular outdoor bloggers to find out why they do, what they do! Plus of course we announce the competition winner for the Lightwave rucksack and launch another exciting prize!

Of particular interest to me is a interview I did with Andy Howell; about the blogging scene.
This interview was done awhile back so I had forget most I what I was asked and answered.
John Hee also appears in this show; and more bloggers will appear in later Podzines.

Bob's latest podcast is about some of the equipment, he will be taking with him to the Backpackers Club Show and AGM at Bellingham.
There is also an interview with Bill Ballowe the maker of the White Box Stoves.
I was interested to see what this stove was like, so had a look around the 'net and found this review of the White Box Stove by Tinny at www.minibulldesign.com.
I`ve used an alcohol Pepsi stove before, my friend Keith (who made my G4) made quite a few of these and used them before going over to a brasslite stove..
The White Box Stove looks to be a much stronger stove than the Pepsi stove and a lot more durable.
I`m not sure how much fuel would be needed for a 10-day trip and whether the weight would work out more than a Pocket Rocket and a 250 canister.

The Outdoors Channel becomes......
The Outdoors Station
Last year; Bob Cartwright AKA Podcast Bob, started up a new website called 'The Outdoors Channel' this was set to be the new site for the new podcasts he was about to start producing.
These new podcasts started out with; The TGO Shows, The Outdoors Channel Magazine and the TOC Book Club.
All these shows were received well by the listening public. Unfortunately an American site already had the name and although they were not in the same field, they slapped a 'cease and desist' on Bob.
Well; Bob is back with his new website The Outdoors Station. There are several new podcasts under way and there is a rumour; that there will be prizes up for grabs. Infact the lastest podcast is giving listeners the chance to win tickets to the OS Outdoors Show.
The Outdoors Station will not only be audio podcasts but video casts (vidcasts) too, some of the first vidcasts will be on the GregoryPacks, the new Golite packs and Leki Poles, plus the 'famous' Tarp Video (this was a victim of the 'cease & desist').
Another feature of the new site; is to allow bloggers and other interested parties to download the html links to the podcasts and post them on their sites.
So here is the first podcast from The Outdoors Station.
