This episode of The Checkpoint podcast is sponsored by The North Face®. In episode 29, Marcus and Rachel talk to Kelly Smith, adventurer, built environment enthusiast & navigation guide.

Kelly holds an undergraduate degree in Project Management for Construction and a masters in Flood Risk Assessment, Modelling and Engineering. Kelly swims in the pool, lakes, and sea, cycles with TWR, hikes with Black Girls Hike and has started running with Black Trail Runners. Kelly hopes to be a beacon of light to get more people from diverse backgrounds into multi-sport events and Kelly also has a big project on the horizon, which we get into on the podcast. Look out for a film coming later this year!

Kelly answers navigation questions submitted by members of the BTR community and shares lots of useful tips on map-reading and route-finding. We talk about Kelly’s inquisitive mind towards all things related to sustainable development as well as their passion for the outdoors.
