    Rockpool Safari
    Jun 26 2025
    Join us as we go on a rockpool safari on the Isle of Wight with marine biologist Theo Vickers, to hear how he took a childhood hobby and turned it into a career.
    While many of his friends left the island to find jobs, Theo knew his heart was on the beach, and now he’s sharing his passion for underwater life with visitors and islanders.
    He takes Claire Hickinbotham on one of his rock pool safaris at Compton Bay.

  • Welsh Myths and Waterfalls Walk

    Welsh Myths and Waterfalls Walk
    May 29 2025
    Join a walk to a lake in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) to hear how Ranger Emma Kolano-Rogers made the brave decision to step away from a career she’d trained for at university but was causing her anxiety.
    A few years later she’s knee deep in mud, falling over in bogs and learning how to snot rocket, and she’s happier than ever.
    She takes host Claire Hickinbotham to find the ‘Lady of the Lake’ and shares some Welsh folklore tales on the short but steep walk.

    Tips for your Nature Fix
    Claire met Emma at Llyn y Fan Fach Car Park - Google Maps and the walk followed a track up to the lake.
    There was one tight spot past a locked gate that makes this walk unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies.
    And if you fancy a little bit of what Emma’s getting, have a look at this, Walking in nature for wellbeing | National Trust, or this National Trust Jobs :: Countryside
