JUST UP THE TRAIL: SOUNDS OF THE TRAIL #1b THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK (DAY 2)

Join me, Rob Jones, as I hike across The New Forest National Park.

In late April 2025 I hiked 18 miles across the New Forest from the park boundary near New Milton to the park boundary near Totton. As I passed through the woods and across the heaths I recorded the sounds and kept something of an audio trail journey in an attempt to bring you a representation of my experience over 2 days.

It's not perfect by any means but it is an idea of what I think this podcast could be... an immersive representation of my time on trail.

In this second episode, covering the second day of the hiking trip, I walk from Brockenhurst to Totton through Ancient Woodlands, scrubby pasture and under some of the biggest skies I've seen in a long time. Along the way I remember what I love about the New Forest National Park and pick up some distinct Lonesome Dove vibes

JUST UP THE TRAIL: SOUNDS OF THE TRAIL #1 THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK (DAY 1)

Join me, Rob Jones, as I hike across The New Forest National Park.

In late April 2025 I hiked 18 miles across the New Forest from the park boundary near New Milton to the park boundary near Totton. As I passed through the woods and across the heaths I recorded the sounds and kept something of an audio trail journey in an attempt to bring you a representation of my experience over 2 days.

It's not perfect by any means but it is an idea of what I think this podcast could be... an immersive representation of my time on trail.

In this first episode, covering the first day of the hiking trip, I walk from New Milton to Brockenhurst before making camp at Hollands Wood campsite. Along the way I encounter wild ponies, wilder teenagers and start to fall in love with a place I used to take for granted.

Welcome back to Just Up The Trail

After a longer than expected hiatus I'm bringing the podcast back this year, just in a slightly different format.

In this little show I chat about where I've been and what I'm planning as well as leave you a little example of how I see future shows sounding
