50: Frostbitten with Nigel Vardy

Nigel Vardy is an outdoorsman in every sense of the word; he grew up in the Peak District fishing for his dinner and hunting for his tea and exploring the woodlands around his home. He is now an accomplished mountaineer, adventurer and motivational speaker who recounts how he lost his fingers, toes and nose to frostbite after the weather closed in on an attempt to summit Denali in Alaska.Richard P and Nigel talk through topics ranging from sizing footwear with no toes, the crossover between mountaineering and field sports, respect for our countryside and wildlife, and the psychology of recovery.CountrySlide is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.Send us photos of your interesting trinkets that your other half wants to burn or bin as submissions to the calendar or for fun at: [email protected] Links- Nigel's website- Frostbitten on Amazon Prime- Nigel on social media: X, Facebook, Instagram / more rural Instagram and Youtube- Buxton Mountain Rescue Team- Subscribe on Patreon for extra content (you can cancel at any time)- If you enjoy what we do, consider a one-off tip on Ko-fi- CountrySlide website- Negus' book tour dates can be found hereThe HostsRichard Negus websiteCallum McInerney-Riley websiteRichard Prideaux websiteEdited and Produced by Amy Green for Rural and Outdoor.
