Inspiring Adventure by Vertebrate Publishing
Inspiring Adventure is the official podcast from Vertebrate Publishing and we hope that our episodes help inspire you to seek your own adventures. We want to connect all – young and old – with the outdoors and the positive impact it can have on well-being. We think it’s particularly important that young people get outside and explore the natural world. At Vertebrate Publishing we publish award winning books to inspire adventure. It’s our rule that the only books we publish are those that we’d want to read or use ourselves; beautiful books that stand the test of time and that you’ll be proud to have on your bookshelf for years to come. Everyone in the Vertebrate Publishing team are driven by their own passion for the outdoors, for exploration and for the natural world. Now we're sharing that passion with listeners as well as readers! Our podcast host is Rae Helm. She spent her great swathes of her childhood out in the UK's first National Park, the Peak District, making escapades in the outdoors a favourite pastime. That could mean climbing with the family along Stanage, camping in Snowdonia or striding along the Cotswolds - she's always looking for the next adventure! Visit our website: https://bit.ly/2pDUU3n
