Description

The Hiking Podcast is hosted by Tom Smith, a mountain leader; Laurie Crayston, a record-breaking hiker; and Paul Burrow, a self-described average-joe hiker. With over 35 years of combined experience in the mountains, the trio share real stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical advice for hikers of all levels. The conversations are relaxed, honest, and often drift beyond hiking, reflecting the reality of long days on the hill. It’s equal parts insight, humour, and storytelling - three mates talking mountains, miles, and life.
