Jen Benson: Adventure guidebook writing and camping around the UK for a year

What if you could go camping all over the UK for a year and write books off the back of your outdoors adventures?

Jen Benson is my guest in this episode and she and her husband Sim are outdoor adventure guidebook authors, travel writers and long-distance runners.

They have two children and outside of this coronavirus period, they travel to places like the Cairngorms, the Lake District and the Isles of Scilly to research running and walking routes for their books.

The couple have worked tirelessly to create this outdoors lifestyle for their family and they’ve had to make a lot of big decisions to get there. Including living in a tent and camping for a year!

I wanted to find out why Jen and her husband decided to pursue a more outdoors lifestyle, how they got into adventure guidebook writing and how it all works around family life.
