Find out what the tweens are listening to and listen to this mixtape by Leeda.

We close out the season with a tale of a long walk. One of the hardest long walks you can undertake - and one that's about far more than the miles covered. Expect friendship, laughs, simple joys and lessons learnt. The kind of adventure that sticks with you long after it's over.

Big adventures in big places. Julie takes us from Baffin Island to the Cirque of the Unclimbables - ironically, to climb. Despite the vastness of these undertakings, Julie’s infectious outlook and effortless storytelling will leave you feeling like it’s your turn next.

Despite having made and received many mixtapes in the 90s, this is the only one Linley has left. Revisit this tape with Linley and her friend Kirby, the maker of the tape.
