    Henry Iddon & Max Leonard: Mountain Style | Podcast
    2024/08/05
    Everyone who explores the outdoors has a special relationship with their clothing. A cagoule can keep you safe in a storm, a duvet jacket might keep you warm through a freezing night, or a pair of gloves may save your hands from the numbing cold. In their new book, Mountain Style, Henry Iddon And Max Leonard are taking a look back over the years to the birth of outdoor equipment. in this podcast I'll be chatting to them about how the birth of specialist mountain clothing in the UK charts not only the growth of the outdoor industry but also a socail history of rising social mobility. When George Mallory made his fateful attempt on Everest in 1922 he was wearing was a high-tech windproof gabardine material, cut as a traditional Norfolk jacket style. Hi partner Sandy Irvine had fitted new-fangled zippers on to his clothing, to help with doing it up at altitude but that was all the specialist equipment the pair had. Until the 1950s most hill goers wore adapted street clothes and were wet and uncomfortable in all but the most benign mountain weather. Then things began to change. In Mountain Style, Max and Henry chart the rise of the out door industry and the growth of clothing designed for use in the outdoors as climbing and hillwalking boomed in the UK, creating a demand for functional, rugged clothing that could cope with the mountain environment. Henry Iddon Max Leonard For my generation of outdoor folk most of our kit came from Army Surplus stores. My first pair of winter walking trousers were my uncle's RAF trousers. They were wool, incredibly warm and comfortable. There's something reassuring in knowing your trousers played their part in the downfall of Hitler. For decades the image of a hillwalker in the public imagination was of someone in a bobble hat. That was probably because Tom Weir was the only walker most people saw on TV and he was never with out his woollen bonnet. Berghaus advertFootloose issue 27 July 1985 The story of the development of outdoor clothing is a social history. In the early years mountaineering was the reserve of a small number of people who had the leisure time and the funds to be able to travel to the mountains. Specialist outdoor gear began by a small number of elite climbers combining the technology from North sea oil and the sailing community to make the clothing they needed Over the years working class folk became more affluent and outdoor clothing attracted big manufacturers and entered the mass market. Then, being practical and comfortable, it made its way to the man in the street who had no intention of going near a hill but wanted something that would keep him dry. I know I'm getting old because my early mountain kit is now preserved in a museum. Mountain Style is available to pre-order now and will fascinate everyone with an interest in the history of outdoor pursuits whilst many old codgers like me will delight in in finding something and saying. "I had one of those!"

    Kat Hill: Bothy | Podcast
    2024/07/03
    John D. Burns talks to Kat Hill about her new book, Bothy, and her delight in these remote shelters. The pace at which our lives become increasingly complex seems to constantly accelerate. The computers, phones and artificial intelligence that we have created to release us from mundane chores seem, in fact, to have enslaved us. Who can resist constantly checking the phone to catch the latest trend and social media? Once we could escape the world by merely walking away from a phone that was attached to a wall. At one time there was a place where work, and even the cares of the world, could not reach us. Sadly, it seems that this time has passed and no matter where we are the electric machine clamours for our attention. Perhaps it is for this reason that the simple shelters scattered across the Highlands, known as bothies, have an increasing attraction. Kat Hill is an author & researcher based in the Highlands of Scotland, and her work focuses on questions of landscape, people, and heritage in various contexts. She has a PhD from the University of Oxford (2011), where she was also a British Academy Postdoctoral Award holder. Most recently she held an Environmental Humanities fellowship at the Institute of Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh and completed an MA in Environmental Humanities at Bath Spa. She is a Fellow at the IAS, Princeton University for 2024-25. Kat lectured at Oxford, UEA and Birkbeck College for ten years before leaving academia and London for a life in Scotland to write. She currently works as a Community Engagement Coordinator for Highlands Rewilding and offers bespoke 1-2-1 tutoring. She is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt and a European champion. Travelling to bothies around the UK, this book reveals the history of these wild mountain shelters and the people who visit them. With a historian’s insight and a rambler’s imagination, she lends fresh consideration to the concepts of nature, wilderness and escape. All the while, Kat weaves together her story of new purpose with those of her fellow wanderers, past and present. She moves from a hut in an active military training area in the far-north of Scotland to a fairy-tale cottage in Wales. Along her travels, she explores the conflict between our desire to preserve isolated beauty and the urge to share it with others – embodied by the humble bothy.
