Wayne Mullane is a self-published author, and relative newcomer to hiking and the outdoors, which is exactly what he speaks about in his book Adventure Dayze.

I really enjoyed talking with Wayne as he shared a very fresh story of how his interest in hiking had developed, and subsequently lead to him making the decision to walk up Ben Nevis

What makes this interesting is that Wayne has a fear of heights. I was perplexed by this at first, thinking that a fear of heights is a fear of looking down at a sheer drop, but for Wayne, it’s also a fear of just being high up and exposed, such as on the top of a mountain.

Waynes story is one of overcoming adversity. We also discuss his future hiking plans, and a bit about his book.

So without further ado, I bring you episode 13 of the Distance Hiker podcast.
