Robert Finch: The orienteer and trail runner working for Ordnance Survey in the Cotswolds

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It’s hosted by Liv Bolton. In this episode, Liv Bolton goes for a hike up the very steep Leckhampton Hill in the Cotswolds with Robert Finch. An orienteer and trail runner, Rob works for Ordnance Survey as a Field Surveyor. He’s a listener of the podcast and when he heard Liv was looking to speak to someone who works with maps, he got in touch! Liv learnt so much about mapping from the conversation, including how trig points really work. Rob also shared his orienteering and trail running adventures and tips for fitting more of the outdoors into your every day. Hopefully you’ll hear a few things about map reading to take away with you! If you enjoy this episode, it would fantastic if you could subscribe.
