Rambling over to Bristol

Welcome to the June epiosde of Bathscape's Footprints Podcast!

This month we celebrate the Ramblers and talk to Chair of Bath Ramblers Mary Young and footpath maintenance officer wizard Keith Weller.

Plus ... in our section Wise Words from Walking Women, Lucy and I talk about footwear - fabric or leather, boots or trainers, on pair of socks or two....

And finally ... I spend the day with good friend, radio colleague and ex-Bath resident Angel Mel trying out the Go Jauntly app which takes us both on a history tour of St Paul's courtesy of Bristol Walkfest!

About the Podcast

Footprints

This podcast is designed to inspire you to get out and explore the beautiful natural landscape surrounding the city of Bath, with its hills and valleys, grasslands and woodlands.

Season 1 brought a monthly flavour of the September walking festival through interviews with special guests, a recorded local walk and a 'top-tip' section with festival organiser Lucy Bartlett.

Season 2 delves deep into the rich diversity of the Bathscape, its culture, heritage, landscape and people.

Footprints was nominated for an ARIA (Audio and Radio Industry Awards) in 2023 in the Grassroots category and in 2023 and 2024 in the Best Local Show category!

Hosted and produced by walking and podcasting enthusiast Pommy Harmar. Get in touch with us through Facebook or Twitter, visit our website: www.bathscape.co.uk or email pommyharmar@yahoo.co.uk
