01: The Welsh Indiana Jones

Ioan Lord, who has recently been tagged as the Welsh Indiana Jones, is the focus of this episode of the Original Outdoors Podcast. As a historian, writer, and avid explorer of abandoned mines, Ioan has found artefacts dating back thousands of years and uncovered more of the history surrounding the mines of mid-Wales. We discuss the mining industry, communities and what it takes to be like Ioan exploring what has been left behind in the hills and mountains of Wales. Richard Prideaux and Amy Green of Original Outdoors draw on some of their experiences of caves, mines and looking for signs of humans in the more remote corners of Wales.
