Cycling The Coast of Wales, Garlic Ice Cream and Lifesaving Lambs - Misadventures#4

About this episode

Tom reflects on his cycling journey around the coast of Wales while sharing stories with co-host Benny P.

Benny P is back to co-host another episode of Misadventures. In this episode, Tom reflects on his ride around the coast of Wales - a three-week journey of endurance, reflection, and a new love for the sea he never knew he needed. Ben brings stories from Chamonix, convincing us all we need a slice of that alpine magic next summer. Along the way, we dive into Tom’s unlikely love affair with volunteering at Reading Festival (yes, that Reading Festival) and Ben’s debrief from the Berlin Marathon. Throw in some parkrun tourism, a pinch of the Isle of Wight, a dash of indie sleaze nostalgia, and a ridiculous story from the Great British Misadventures jar – and trust us, this one’s guaranteed to make you laugh.
