I was just a bit frustrated. I had this huge pile of stories that I wanted to tell and no outlet for.

0:07.0

And of course, I thought, well, you know, I can just talk a podcast, which is just the brilliance of the medium,

0:12.6

that it doesn't require a huge amount of commitment or investment at the start. You can just give it a go.

0:37.1

Hey folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. I'm your host, Mason. Well, I'm actually not your host today because

0:38.1

today's a throwback Thursday episode, Kurt Lindvill's host in this show. He was the previous host.

0:44.2

And this episode actually goes back a handful of years. We're talking to Christopher Slight,

0:49.4

and it's all about mountaineering in the winter in Scotland. And I think it's a good time because, you know, winter's going to be here before you know it. And Christopher's such a good storyteller. You're really going to enjoy this. But like I said, winter's going to be upon us soon. And it's good to come up with a plan now of how you're going to stay active when the days are shorter, when it's, you know, not as comfortable outside because it's freezing.

1:48.1

And for everyone else, big announcement coming with our Patreon team or Patreon club.

1:54.5

So if you're a part of that, thank you.

1:56.4

If you're not, I would consider jumping on because it's going to be cool.

2:02.8
