Joy, rain and handstands – Hiking with Mountain Leader Sameed Asghar
Saturday, 7 February, 2026
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 is joined by Sameed Asghar, who takes her and photographer Frankie Dewar on a hike up to a waterfall in Carding Mill Valley in Shropshire. It turns out to be possibly one of the wettest recordings Liv’s ever done… but also one of the most fun. Sameed is a real force of nature. Despite the rain, he was throwing in handstands and yoga poses along the way, bringing so much joy and energy to what could very easily have been a complete washout. It’s no surprise that he makes a brilliant Mountain Leader — even though that was never something he imagined for himself growing up in Birmingham, where he says his experience of nature didn’t stretch further than his local park. Now, through his hiking company Summit Special Adventures, Sameed has led community and charity groups on hikes across the UK and around the world. At the heart of his work is a strong commitment to introducing people from ethnic minority backgrounds and inner-city areas to the outdoors, and to championing greater diversity in nature spaces. We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Sameed!
