En Route with Owen Charnley - Azerbaijan to Manchester

Welcome to Mountain Diaries, the podcast that celebrates life in the mountains — the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Join us as we chat with guests who live, work, and play among the peaks, sharing real stories about adventure, community, and what it truly means to build a life shaped by the mountains.

Between interviews, we head out on "Field Trip" episodes — hiking, staying in backcountry huts, and exploring mountain trails first-hand, sharing honest reviews, funny moments, and a behind-the-scenes look at mountain adventures.

Whether you're a weekend wanderer, a full-time mountain dweller, or just someone who loves a good story from high places — this is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and fall in love (or hate) with the mountains all over again.

This episode is an 'En Route' episode - where we chat to people who are currently on an adventure! Owen Charnley is walking from Azerbaijan to Rochdale, over the course of 9 months, around 6800km! He's raising money for two Manchester based charities that support the homeless - Barnabus, and Booth Centre.
