Max Swinhoe: Living – and hiking – with an upper limb difference

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 wonderfully atmospheric, mist-soaked walk in Eryri [Snowdonia] with Max Swinhoe. Max’s love for hiking runs deep. She’s completed the 2,200-mile long Appalachian Trail in the US, tackled multi-day routes across the UK, and she’s now a Mountain Leader as well as a Mountain Rescue volunteer. But hiking has also been part of a much more personal journey for Max — one of self-acceptance and embracing her upper limb difference. She’s now working to improve the representation of disability in the outdoors community, championing visibility, challenging assumptions, and showing just what’s possible. We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Max! Enjoyed this episode?
