Robert Harris has undertaken more than 50 multi-week trips into the world’s wild places: “all unsupported and most of them alone”. He’s driven to where the US road systems end (or did in the late 60s), 120 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, and he’s since been above the Arctic Circle 15 times (“there’s a lot I want to see up there”, he says). He’s tracked down caribou migrations in the Yukon, lived amongst Inuit people, and walked some of the finest hiking trails in the Dolomites, on New Zealand’s South Island, in Chilean Patagonia and in the North American Rockies. And, after a lifetime of making dramatic journeys an annual habit, in 2017 he published his first memoir: Way Out There: Adventures of a Wilderness Trekker . Perhaps most impressively of all though is this: he’s just a regular guy from New York. Well, perhaps not so regular. He grew up poor in one of the city’s many low-income housing projects with a lot of family love and support, but no money to make his ambitions happen… and the outdoors wasn’t even a part of his thinking until the Boy Scouts introduced him to landscapes without pigeons, concrete and cockroaches. He got a job, earned himself a scholarship and put himself through university at Queen’s College. After graduation, he founded his own marketing company and settled into a life of work, family, and meticulous planning of audacious adventures all across the planet. Since 1993 he’s been a member of the prestigious Explorer’s Club, and in recent years he’s dedicated himself to giving motivational talks to schools, clubs and social organisations. J.R.’s message is simple: if he can do it, then you can do it. > Find out all about J.R. at https://www.jrinthewilderness.com/ Listen, enjoy, tell your friends, subscribe to the podcast if you get and chance, and thank UKHillwalking.com for their kind support of this series! [episode recorded on 09/06/22] 00:00 - Introduction 02:35 - Welcome, a native New Yorker with a 50 or 60 Grateful Dead t-shirts 05:45 - Growing up in the projects, “life was tough, but you get a certain knowledge that doesn’t come through books or school” 07:40 - A “kicking and screaming” sign up for the Boy Scouts, “it was not compatible with growing up in the city”. 09:00 - “The first time I ever saw grass I tried to smoke it” 12:20 - Requisitioning food and heading out into the wild to be alone with nature: “I would spend most of my time in the summer off by myself” 14:00 - “There were very few black kids there. It was probably a combination of parents who couldn’t afford it, and a crazy notion that Boy Scouts wasn’t really the kind of thing that a black kid from the street in New York city would want to be in. That was the mindset back then”. 15:05 - “I was a different guy when I came back… and I got a lot of respect somehow”. 1 6:45 - “My folks told me when I was young that they would give me everything they could that I would need to be successful. But they also told me that everything they gave me would not be enough, and that if I wanted to fulfil my dreams - whatever they may be - I was pretty much going to have to make that happen”, working, being awarded a scholarship and attending Queen’s College to study Psychology. 20:40 - First travels: “a piece of crap Volkswagen Beetle” and a 9,000 mile road trip as far north as roads go, 120 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska (“there would be no vehicles between me and the North Pole”). 23:50 - “I want to know what’s behind those mountains. I want to know what rivers, valleys and wildlife… and what it’s like to be back there.” 26:00 - “... sitting on the back of my car holding two coins: a quarter and a dime. And that 35 cents was the last money I had.” 30:20 - A career in market research, starting a business “Don’t convince yourself that it’s impossible. If you want to do it, just figure out how to do it and go do it”. JRH Marketing Services is now “the oldest African-American-owned marketing consulting firm in the United States”. 33:40 - Mixing multi-week global trips with an adult life (“it’s funny how they add up to 50 so quickly”) 36:30 - What makes it special to travel alone? (“I’ve never been lonely out there, and I’ve never come back early from a trip”) 40:20 - “I’m a curious guy with a valid credit card” 44:00 - “The smartest thing I ever did in all these trips was to keep a journal… now I’m pushing 80 I’m still doing trips, I’m still writing journals” 46:18 - Contrasting the different environments around the world. 49:00 - “I plan very intricately, and I take the time to send away for topo maps”, researching long-distance trips in the pre-internet age. 51:10 - Gear chat, testing outdoor kit for Backpacker magazine (“nobody can tell me my pack is too heavy, because nobody’s carrying it but me”) 54:50 - “I’m using the same Thermarest mattress that I was using in 1980” 55:45 - Hand-rolled cigars and a pint of Cognac (“it’s going to last you 18 days”) 59:30 - Is there anyone that’s inspired you? “To be totally honest: no. And the reason is: there was nobody. I always wanted to be an explorer, but there was never any explorer I could look up to. I knew somebody like Matthew Henson who went to the North Pole in 1909 was a black man. But they never taught us about that in school. I heard about (Robert) Peary, but I never knew there was a guy with him that looked like me… I had to find my own motivation, I had to find my own inspiration” 61:30 - Motivational talks to New York schools: “If I can do it, you can do it” 66:45 - Greatest mountain memory … 10 March 1992, losing the trail, a backpack, a lot of body heat, and nearly everything in the mountains of south-west Tasmania (“the hardest trip I ever did, by the way”). 71:15 - All the time, money, freedom… what would you do? Five places: the top of Everest, the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the North Pole, the South Pole, the moon.…

> Find galleries, blog posts and many more episodes at www.mountainairpodcast.uk Episode 2#07 gets to know none other than multi-talented photojournalist David Lintern. Based in Kingussie in the Cairngorms National Park, David is an outdoor writer and photographer of high reputation. You’ve likely seen his images and read his words across many different magazines and websites that focus on Britain’s hills, mountains and rivers. So, who better to spend an hour with discussing the challenges and rewards of this environment we all love so much? Having just released his latest book, “ Thunder Road: Voices from the Cape Wrath Trail ”, David’s keen to describe the landscapes and people discovered along the most famous hiking route in Scotland’s epic north-west, as well as to discuss what he’s trying to achieve in documenting these unique subjects. He also shares the fascinating story of how a person ends up living the life of an environmental journalist in the Scottish Highlands - a dream job, perhaps, but one which brings plenty of insecurity with its limitless freedoms. From London-based cinema projectionist, to “scruffy musician”, to founder of a children’s charity, David’s journey has taken him from a deeply urban life to one spent amongst the wildest of places. There’s even time to discuss a fateful two-month hike of the Pyrenees and a formative winter mountaineering trip across the Ben Alder range with some deeply eerie details… Visit www.davidlintern.com to find out more about David’s work, and make sure to catch up with him on Instagram too: @davidjlintern Listen, enjoy, tell your friends, subscribe to the podcast if you get and chance, and thank UKHillwalking.com for their kind support of this series! [episode recorded on 26/05/22] 00:00 - Introduction 03:23 - Welcome, “a photographer and writer focusing on human-powered travel, landscape and the environment”, discussing the book “Thunder Road: Voices from the Cape Wrath Trail” 06:53 - Most definitely not “striding forth under self-imposed adversity”, more details of the Cape Wrath experience 13:28 - War games off the Scottish coast 17:33 - “Vanishing Point” photography project, the struggles of being a freelancer during the COVID pandemic, “lots of freedom, but lots of insecurity” 20:13 - Enjoying “the wrestle” of writing, details of an outdoor media career, “esoteric ramblings” 27:38 - “We were all feeling pretty experimental in COVID, weren’t we?” 28:33 - Coming to the outdoors relatively late, discovering the mountains as an adult. A former life as a London-based cinema projectionist, youth music worker, sound engineer, and university lecturer… seeing “literally thousands of films at the National Film Theatre” 33:23 - Becoming a community music leader, setting up the Soundmix charity (http://www.soundmix.org.uk/who-we-are/), working with the refugee council and “unaccompanied minors”, “what can a scruffy musician do?” 35:23 - An “early mid-life crisis” expressed by walking across the Pyrenees in a two-month charity trip, starting to work with the John Muir Trust 38:10 - A passion for cinema, music and soundtracks, performing background music for TV programmes, an interest in analogue machinery 40:13 - Creating electronic music and dub via Projector Records: “to call it a record label would suggest that it actually functioned… it was basically a group of friends that lived in a house in the mid-90s” 42:51 - Some heartfelt words about a love of the outdoors and life in Kingussie, “when you live here you realise that they’re called the grey hills and the red hills for a reason… it’s a special place” 49:39 - “The bit that’s important to me is allowing other people to speak… really I’m the least interesting bit of the equation”. 53:03 - Enriching your life through experiences in the “heavens”. How can we bring those transformative experiences back down to our everyday lives. 54:23 - Greatest mountain memory … a long winter mountaineering weekend in the Ben Alder range, the Lancet Edge, eerie sounds, unsettling footsteps, a golden eagle. 59:23 - All the time, money, freedom… what would you do? A simple answer… and a more complicated one: fixing the gap between recreational hill people, and those that live and work on the land, conservation and shooting estates (“we have big environmental decisions to make as a society… and we’re not able to have those conversations”)…
