Slieve Muck: Making Tracks & Camping Snacks

Slieve Muck: Making Tracks & Camping Snacks

Up on the relatively mucky Slieve Muck in the beautiful Mourne Mountains of County Down, I bumped into the inspirational Noah and Marcel who were out on a camping trip. We had a lovely spontaneous conversation in the shadow of the Mourne Wall, before they got to their Super Noodle dinner and I carried on my evening wander. Noah is a boat builder, helping to create innovative electric foiling boats for the future, and Marcel is a Architecture Student, Judoka and hiking enthusiast.

Coole Bog: Salt Water & Champagne, Vomiting In The Rain

Back in County Westmeath, we are sat in an abandoned locomotive for a chat with the fantastic Kerstin Bergentz. Kerstin is an engineer-turned-geographer-turned-oceanographer who was made in Sweden but feels at home in the ocean. She is currently pursuing a PhD in sunny California, which involves spending time aboard research ships around the world and studying the physics of various ocean phenomena such as eddies and waves.

Lund: Martins In The Sand, Warbling Over Land

Today we're back in Lund, Sweden with Dr Violeta Caballero-Lopez for a trip into the world of birds, Phil Collins, and long haired rabbits. Violeta is a doctor in biology and studies the genetics behind migration in birds. She is of course a birdwatcher but also loves watercolours and playing sax. She dreams of studying birds in Africa as it has been a very neglected continent but harbours the most striking diversity of animal species and behaviours.

Söderåsen: Oh Dear Oh Deer

Today we're in a snowy Söderåsens [https://www.sverigesnationalparker.se/sv/upptack-nationalparkerna/soderasens-nationalpark] nationalpark for a crunchy ramble down memory lane with the fantastic Keir Quackenbush. Keir takes analogue photographs, throws frisbee golf discs, reads fiction, plays drums, and (was not bribed to say that he) misses the era when Ronni lived in Skåne. He also teaches junior high English. Be in touch with Ronni, with all your ideas and to invite him to perform in more IKEA showrooms.
