Episode 26 - Speedy Tours with Ben Bardsley and Jon Morgan

On Day 5 of the sixth year of our week-a-year ski traverse of the Grand Alpine Arc (Mediterranean to Vienna) we found ourselves stopping a bit earlier than planned, at the almost full Warnsdorfer hütte winter room. I took the opportunity to sit down with Ben Bardsley and Jon Morgan to discuss our ‘Speedy Tours’ project. Started in 2016 at Menton on the Med coast, the three of us plus fourth member Es Tresidder set out on our journey. The project has been incredibly engaging, taking us through varied terrain and weather conditions, with every type of snow. Long days in new places have made for very memorable trips which build with each year. We talk about the ethos, equipment and practicalities of the project.

(Not the best audio I’m afraid on this episode as just done on a phone in the back of a busy hut)
