Real adventure isn't just for the pros. The award-winning Adventure Diaries brings you authentic stories of Adventure, exploration and the wonder of the natural world, specifically curated to inspire your next adventure.
Hosted by Chris Watson—an award-winning storyteller and Scottish micro-adventurer—this show bridges the gap between extreme feats and accessible everyday adventures.
Whether you are a seasoned mountaineer, a weekend adventurer, a solo traveler planning your next trip, or someone seeking the mental health benefits of nature, you have found your tribe.
We go beyond the standard interview to decode the "why" and "how" behind the world's greatest adventures.

The Profound Call to Adventure with Geoff Holt MBE on the Adventure Diaries Podcast
In the inspiring world of adventure, few stories resonate as deeply as those told by Geoff Holt MBE on the latest episode of the Adventure Diaries Podcast, hosted by Chris Watson. As we gear up for the thrilling launch of Season 2, Chris revisits some of the most impactful moments from the first season, including a profound conversation with Geoff, a celebrated adventurer and advocate for the disabled community.
The Lure of the Water
Geoff’s passion for the water is not just a personal escape but a universal call to adventure. "Just look at the world differently and be inspired and in awe of Mother Nature," Geoff suggests. His advocacy for getting on or by the water—whether it’s sitting on a beach or crossing a river by ferry—is more than an invitation; it's a reminder of the transformative power of nature. This connection with water is portrayed as an essential element to experiencing the world from a unique, more appreciative perspective.
Paying It Forward
Beyond personal adventures, Geoff is deeply committed to making a difference through his work with the Wet Wheels charity, offering water-based experiences to those with disabilities. His philosophy of 'paying it forward' is about more than just charity; it's about enriching lives without expecting anything in return. "I’ve got more fun and enjoyment and fulfillment out of my life for the things that I have done and not charged for," Geoff shares, underscoring the joy found in altruistic actions.
An Invitation to Explore and Connect
As the episode wraps up, Chris extends an invitation to listeners: join an Adventure Diaries mini expedition or event to not only seek adventure but also connect with like-minded individuals. These events, though limited in numbers, promise unique experiences and the opportunity to engage with the community Chris and his guests foster.
Reflecting on Good Deeds
Geoff’s closing thoughts remind us of the simple, profound joy of doing good. A day’s good deed, he mentions, could be as simple as helping someone in need, leading to that warm, fuzzy feeling as you end your day. It’s a powerful message to carry forward—acting selflessly can significantly impact both our lives and those of others.
This episode of the Adventure Diaries with Chris Watson and Geoff Holt MBE is more than just a podcast; it's a journey into the heart of what it means to live adventurously and compassionately.
