New York - Part 2

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2572178/fan_mail/new] In this second episode of the New York Trilogy we are joined by Izzy for a slightly different take on New York.  All the deep and meaningful culture that Malcolm didn't bother with. We talk about Dumbo, the best sort of Diner breakfasts and why the big apple is obviously Green. The highline, Twin towers memorial and we finally settle the dilemma about what is an acceptable Broadway musical to see. And don't miss the definitive Yorkshire man's guides to tipping and how to let people who tell you Jazz is an art form down gently.

Cornwall - Part 1

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2572178/fan_mail/new] To celebrate the May Bank Holiday and the inevitable forecast of rain, what could be more appropriate than a discussion of Cornwall?  The A30 will be packed with visitors eager to get away for some summer sun, walks, fish and chips and the inevitable seagull attack.  This will at least give you something to listen to as you crawl down the A40 or scour St. Ives for the mythical parking space (should have taken the train). In this first half of a review of Cornwall we discuss travelling to Cornwall, food and walking. Including the various Rick Stein restaurants, Jamaica Inn, fish markets and the South West Coastal Path.

Trekking Expeditions

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2572178/fan_mail/new] In this episode David and Malcolm discuss the basics of trekking, including how best to avoid and deal with altitude sickness. They talk about how the gear is transported on a trekking expedition and they fall down the rabbit hole of what actually is a mule!! The correct answer obviously being: a mule is the sterile offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare).  They also discuss local initiatives to keep mountains and other tourists hotspots clean from rubbish brought in by tourists.
