Talia and her guests explore what the word access can mean because, when you stop to think about it, there are so many layers to this term.

Research tells us that disabled people are often excluded from nature, so Talia sees what can be done about this by spending a morning with The Epping Forest Sunflower Group along an easy-access trail at High Beach.

Talia is then joined by podcaster and outdoors legend Francesca Turauskis to talk about adventuring with epilepsy, stigma and how so many different access issues are interconnected.

Finally, Talia reflects on neurodivergent experiences in nature, including her own. With fellow neurodivergent nature lover Emma, Talia discovers how important it is to make her own adaptations when hiking.
