| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Hiking Radio Network, where we talk the walk with shows by hikers |
| 0:05.3 | about hikers for everybody. Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail, the ultimate midlife crisis, joins Stephen his guests every week as he staggers from Georgia to Maine. |
| 0:33.3 | Hey guys, this is it. The end of my Camino trip and my return to America. You're listening to Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail of the ultimate midlife crisis and that we've been following Dave and Beth up the Appalachian Trail while I've been away. My focus has mainly been on walking the Camino Francai in Spain for the second time and this time by myself. I'm recording this the day after I flew in from England |
| 0:54.9 | where I went to for a day after Spain and I'm pretty much exhausted by the whole thing. |
| 1:00.7 | I was never going to miss out on an episode but please forgive me if I make a few mistakes here |

| 1:51.3 | next two nights because with everybody around, I was kind of concerned that I might not get into places. |
| 1:56.8 | So I'd booked into Paloida-Ray and Azua. I'd also discovered that I'd totally misread the guides |
