Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.

Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble.

The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.

Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.

The Road Less Travelled is an Australian podcast documenting and capturing the Australian spirit of travel, discovery and adventure. Join your host Nicki Shea where together you'll experience adventures all around Australia.

There's always a story involved as each week we are out caravanning, 4WDing, fishing, camping, gold detecting, cooking and exploring places, history and visiting destinations all rolled into each episode.

This is a self funded independent podcast, and we would love your support!

Got something we should feature, review, discover or explore; drop us a line.

For over 25 years Nicki Shea has been in the motorcycling and motorsport media. Aged 14 when her family sold up house and business got a caravan and 4wd and headed around Australia almost as gypsies, picking up work along the way, meeting all walks of people, and visiting hidden places. Schooled on the road by correspondence and educated by life adventures, and a generation of tales and stories to be shared. Traveling is in her veins and Australia is a vast landscape waiting to be visited and explored. What a combination!
