<p><strong>JUST UP THE TRAIL: </strong><strong><em>SOUNDS OF THE TRAIL #1 </em></strong><em>THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK (DAY 1)</em></p><p>Join me, Rob Jones, as I hike across The New Forest National Park.</p><p>In late April 2025 I hiked 18 miles across the New Forest from the park boundary near New Milton to the park boundary near Totton. As I passed through the woods and across the heaths I recorded the sounds and kept something of an audio trail journey in an attempt to bring you a representation of my experience over 2 days.</p><p>It's not perfect by any means but it is an idea of what I think this podcast could be... an immersive representation of my time on trail.</p><p>In this first episode, covering the first day of the hiking trip, I walk from New Milton to Brockenhurst before making camp at Hollands Wood campsite. Along the way I encounter wild ponies, wilder teenagers and start to fall in love with a place I used to take for granted.</p><p>________________________________________________</p><p></p><p>🥾⛰️🎒Find out more and get involved on <a target="_blank" href="https://justupthetrail.substack.com/">Substack</a>. Find blog posts and updates direct from the trails and from the planning desk and get new audio episodes and notes from the trail journal directly to your inbox.</p><p>🏕️⛰️⛺️ Access extra content and help forward the project with a Free Membership on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/c/justupthetrail">Patreon</a> Notes from the planning stages of forthcoming hikes and updates from the editing desk as I put together the sounds I collect on trail</p><p>📸🏞️🌄 Keep up with the adventures on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/justupthetrail/">Instagram</a>,  Audio AND Visuals direct from the trails while I’m hiking and collecting sounds</p><p><em>Just Up The Trail is written and produced by Rob Jones</em></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://justupthetrail.substack.com/"><strong>www.justupthetrail.com</strong></a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
