Inspired by the breathtaking documentary 14 Peaks, John and Martina, along with their two adventurous sons, Ben and Will, are embarking on an extraordinary challenge: to conquer the base camps of all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks. This week on the Bucket Lister Podcast, host Keith chats with this remarkable family about their incredible journey.
John and Martina, seasoned travelers with 71 and 79 countries under their belts respectively (and Ben and Will not far behind with 46 and 44!), are no strangers to adventure.
Last summer, they tackled the first leg of their 14 base camps challenge, successfully reaching the base camps of K2, Broad Peak, G1 and G2, and Nanga Parbat in Pakistan. (Check out their detailed blog post at https://familyrussellsmithtravel.com/our-epic-journey-in-the-karakoum-a-day-by-day-guide/ for a day-by-day account!) Now, they're gearing up for their next adventure in Nepal, where they'll aim for Everest and Lhotse this Easter.
But this journey is about more than just personal achievement. As educators, John and Martina are committed to making a difference. Deeply moved by the lack of educational opportunities for children in remote mountain regions, they've partnered with the Nimsdai Foundation to raise £12,000, enough to fund three scholarships in Nepal. They also aim to develop and promote local teacher training projects across the Himalayan region.
Join Keith as he delves into the inspiring story of John, Martina, Ben, and Will, exploring their passion for adventure, their dedication to education, and their incredible quest to conquer the 14 base camps. Get ready to be inspired and discover how you can make a difference while pursuing your own bucket list dreams!"

On this latest episode of The Bucketlister Podcast Keith has an inspirational conversation with Aron Anderson.
In January 1996, Anderson and his parents were told by doctors he had cancer in his lower back. He was treated with chemotherapy and radiation throughout 1996 and early 1997. The treatments did not work, and in late 1997 the cancer was removed surgically, at which time Anderson lost function in both legs.
Despite all of this Aron didnt let it stop him achieving what he wanted to achieve.
Aron became a Para Olympian competing in 4 Olympic Games.
Aron was the first wheelchair user to climb Kebnekaise, Swedens highest mountain as well as a successful summit of Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair - But he didn't want to stop there! Aron wanted to become the first wheelchair user to climb the Matterhorn! We wont give anymore away so enjoy the episode!

Welcome to a new episode of Bucket Lister Podcast titled "Everest Base Camp - Update 2", where we delve deep into the practicalities of your epic journey to the Everest Base Camp. In this episode, we break down the logistics, focusing on setting the right expectations for reaching the critical jumping-off point, Lukla.
Once thought of as a direct trip from Kathmandu, getting to Lukla has become more of a journey in itself. Priority is now given to flights from Ramechhap rather than Kathmandu, largely due to airport congestion. However, recent flooding has dramatically impacted the trip duration to Ramechhap, with travel times increasing from the usual 4 hours to approximately 8 hours.
While Helicopter services still operate directly from Kathmandu to Lukla, they are not immune to disruptive weather conditions. This situation has resulted in instances where hundreds of adventurers have been stuck in Ramechhap awaiting their flight to Lukla. Hence, the episode aims to bring listeners up to speed on these changes and highlight the importance of having a contingency budget for emergencies such as hopping on a helicopter ride when fixed-wing flights become unfeasible.
Additionally, we'll explore an intriguing offshoot at the end of the typical Base Camp itinerary. If you're considering extending your Nepalese adventure with a visit to Chitwan, this episode covers the options for securing flights from Kathmandu.
Whether you're a seasoned trekker or a first-time adventurer, this episode delivers essential information to help you plan and have a fantastic Everest Base Camp experience. Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of this legendary trek.

In this episode, join us as we embark on an extraordinary adventure along the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
Nestled high in the majestic Andes Mountains of Peru, the Inca Trail is a breathtaking trek that traces the footsteps of the ancient Incas. As we lace up our hiking boots and step onto this historic path, we delve deep into the rich history, awe-inspiring landscapes, and profound spirituality that make this journey an unparalleled bucket list experience.
Our intrepid leader, Jake, takes us on an immersive journey as he recounts his personal experience of conquering the Inca Trail. He shares the challenges faced during the four-day trek, including the steep ascents, rugged terrain, and ever-changing weather conditions. From the stunning scenery of snow-capped peaks, lush cloud forests, and cascading waterfalls to the encounters with alpacas and llamas along the way, every step is filled with wonder and beauty.
But the Inca Trail is not just about picturesque landscapes. Jake shares the profound cultural significance of the trail, highlighting the remarkable Inca ruins and ancient archaeological sites that pepper the route.
As we approach the grand finale of our trek, Jake describes the awe-inspiring moment when the group arrived at the Sun Gate and witnessed the majestic sight of Machu Picchu for the first time. The sheer magnitude and beauty of this ancient citadel, shrouded in mist and surrounded by towering mountains, leave an indelible mark on his soul and remind us why Machu Picchu is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Join us on this mesmerising episode of the BucketLister Podcast as we follow Jakes footsteps along our Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Trip. Whether you're an avid adventurer seeking inspiration or a travel enthusiast dreaming of your next escapade, this podcast will transport you to the heart of the Andes and ignite the wanderlust within you.

Fiona Quinn is an author, keynote speaker, endurance adventurer and entrepreneur.
No one had ever attempted it before. Yet as a complete beginner, and a terrified one at that (she was scared of the sea), in April 2018 Fiona set out to see if she could stand up paddle board up the west coast of Britain, 800 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats (LEJOG).
This inspiring and gripping account shows that no matter what the odds, if you dare to start before you're ready, anything is possible.

In this Episode we talk to Rich Mayfield about his 1994 Expedition into Low's Gully in Borneo.
Nobody attempted to make a descent into the gully until 1994. On Feb 21 that year, seven British and three Hong Kong soldiers tried to abseil and climb down into the gully.
The team members going into Low’s GullyThe commander of the army that led the expedition was Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Neill. His second-in-command was Major Ron Foster.
Together, they both set up the 10-man team. Joining them, there were two corporals – Steve Page and Hugh Brittan from the Royal Logistics Corps – and Lance Corporal Richard Mayfield. Mayfield was also an expert survivalist and rock climber.
The other two British soldiers were a Territorial Army Sergeant Robert Mann and Corporal Pete Shearer.
Also with them were the three Chinese soldiers from Hong Kong, Lance Corporal Cheung Yiu Keuong and Privates Lam Wai Kee and Chan Wai Keung.
Why the expedition into Low’s Gully was a disaster from the beginningEven before it started, the expedition seemed to be doomed anyway. The first mistake was not to equip themselves with a radio or flares.
On top of that , the three Hong Kong soldiers only learned how to abseil a few days before the expedition. And then, there was the language barrier among the soldiers.
Although some of the team members were familiar with each other, some of them only met weeks prior to the expedition. Hence, there was no teamwork or rapport right from the beginning.
This is a great conversation that looks into what happened on that expedition.
