Voices of the Land Ep.2 | Yr Wyddfa (Mt. Snowdon) Mountain Railway

Today our DunkersPodcast comes from above the Clouds; up a mountain, on a railway and somewhere that, along the way, feels strangely freeing. Welcome to our second 'Voices' Podcast reaching the People, Power and Places who make North Wales and Llyn Peninsular so special. This railway timetable isn't yours anymore. You surrender to the 7.6km climb, the noise, the weather and the mountain. Initially, the background is slightly noisy - so listen hard to catch the voices, but then, from its 3560ft (1085mtr) summit, our walk down the rack and pinion track takes in the awesome, unparallelled, spectacle afforded by 130 years of engineering excellence. Welcome aboard and tickets please!

The Hometown Paddle | Kevin Bell on Adventure, Water and Place

One paddleboard. One reason that mattered more than quitting. This is Kevin Bell’s #thehometownpaddle - and it’s not what you think. Kevin is the man for all seasons in Abersoch and in 2019, Kevin set off from Abersoch - his new hometown - on a paddleboard, heading over 230 miles across sea, river & canal to Poynton - his old hometown - where this story began. With the help of friends old & new, he & Sally (his inestimable support crew) made it. Not for headlines (well maybe a little bit!) but for someone special.
