Episode 082: Chris Dyer, A Simpler Life

Episode 082 of The Adventure Podcast features Chris Dyer,  a Crofter/Archaeologist/Historian/Firefighter, who lives on a smallholding on the Shetland Isles off the coast of Northern Scotland.  We met Chris while working on a project in the Shetlands for Best Made Co. He moved there from England some time ago and has built a life for himself amongst the once derelict stone walls of Garths Croft, the property he bought and has since renovated. In this episode, Matt talks to Chris about his life on the island, the traditions of the place and why living a quieter, simpler, deliberately harder life might be the way forward. Listen for stories of island life, living in harmony with the land, and escapism.Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast</a>.
