Content warning - this episode contains discussions around suicide and also his diagnosis which may be a spoiler if you haven't read his new book 'The Search'
This episode explores resilience in the face of a life-shortening illness, as well as mountain rescue teams, search dog companion and being a casualty on a mountain too.
“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
― Marcus Aurelius
Paul Besley is a writer, outdoor enthusiast, and former Mountain Rescue team member whose new book, The Search, is out now with Vertebrate Publishing. The book focusses on his training and work with his search dog Scout, but ultimately is about so much more.
Paul began exploring the British countryside as a schoolboy in the 1970s, developing a lifelong fascination with the interaction between humans and the land. His writing delves into how the physical environment shapes us and how we, in turn, respond. Through his books, including Day Walks in the South Pennines, 1001 Walking Tips, and his new book The Search, Paul has inspired countless people to embrace the simplicity and joy of walking—whether in national parks, the urban landscape, or the countryside right outside their door.
But Paul’s story is about far more than walking. Diagnosed with a lifelong condition, he has faced significant personal challenges with remarkable strength. He’s also seen firsthand the fragility of life through his work in Mountain Rescue, encountering tragedies, while finding resilience in himself and his team.
