Stephen Ross, founder of Big Trail Adventures spent a week in the Lakes testing four things:

1. A new route that connects 35 Wainwrights in the Eastern Fells in a continuous loop.

2. A new version of the Big Trail Adventures App

3. Some new tech - how to keep his devices charged

4. His fitness!

In this episode, Stephen tells us how all that testing went. It's not just an insight into walking the Wainwrights, it's an honest take on what it takes to build a serious app for the outdoors.
